That doesn't mean they don't want to be contacted or that they don't want to know there is a problem. If you detect an issue at 8pm, they are not available to fix it this evening so no point listing a phone number. If you send them an email they can look into the issue tomorrow. So there is still value in listing their (email) contact details in the database. > > On this particular discussion: I agree that it makes no sense to have > the phone number optional on a role: (*this* is usually a NOC that has > a phone...) and mandatory on a person: - make it optional on both. For now yes I agree to make it optional in both. In the long term we need to get rid of the PERSON object then we won't have discrepancies cheers denis proposal author. -- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options, please visit: https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/db-wg
