Hello all,
As you may have seen in the minutes from the RIPE NCC Executive Board's
most recent meeting (on 6 October 2023), the Executive Board approved
the amendments to the RIPE Database Terms and Conditions.
The RIPE Database Working Group had reached consensus that the provision of
geolocation information should be included in the list of purposes of
the RIPE Database. Accordingly, the approved amendments to the RIPE
Database Terms and Conditions include this new purpose and replace the
pronouns 'he/she' with the gender-neutral singular 'they'.
You can access the RIPE NCC Executive Board Meeting minutes at:
https://www.ripe.net/about-us/executive-board/minutes/2023/minutes-168th-executive-board-meeting
And the updated RIPE Database Terms and Conditions are available at:
https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/terms
In the next whois release, we will remove the prefix size validation
rules, which we had to implement to restrict unnecessary processing of
personal data when geolocation was not yet a defined purpose of the RIPE
Database.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Kind regards,
Maria Stafyla
Senior Legal Counsel
RIPE NCC
