AUTO-1<Initials>?

16:16:19 [yz at yz][~]> ripe-whois -v person | sed -En '/^nic-hdl$/,/^[a-z]/p'
nic-hdl

   Specifies the NIC handle of a role or person object.  When
   creating an object, one can also specify an "AUTO" NIC handle
   by setting the value of the attribute to "AUTO-1" or 
   AUTO-1<Initials>.  In such case the database will assign
   the NIC handle automatically.
    
     From 2 to 4 characters optionally followed by up to 5 digits
     optionally followed by a source specification.  The first digit
     must not be "0".  Source specification starts with "-" followed
     by source name up to 9-character length.
