Hi Hank
As they said in the legal presentation at RIPE 76, GDPR considerations are not
finished, they are only just starting. A data controller is required to review
if the personal data they hold is justified. I don't think the purpose of the
RIPE Database can justify 2 million+ PERSON objects or holding personal data
when a corporate role is all that is needed.

Colleagues,
The purpose in the Terms and Conditions may define a reason for holding
contact information, but it doesn't justify this level of personal data being
held in the database. Perhaps it's time to review what is meant by 'contact
information'. What is really needed to satisfy this purpose? For example, why
do we need an address for a technical contact who may need to be contacted in
the event of an operational issue? No one is going to go to that address or
post a letter.
As always your thoughts and opinions are welcome...

I think HOHO-RIPE would tend to disagree. -Hank
