Just as a counterpoint, I do like my notification e-mails.  Push
notification in case I do need to care, and *only then*.

And I totally dislike having to actually look into some sort of
portal / web UI "is there anything I should be aware of?", because
this sort of polling is eating brain cycles for no good.

(Having a good audit trail is fine, in case I know I'm looking for
something - but I do just want to see "something under my administration
has changed", in case I do not yet know I should be looking)

I mixed up options, sorry for that.  "-B" works, --show/-no-personal

whois will give you mail addresses if you pass in "-B", or, more modern
"--show-personal".

The whois server conveniently understands "help" as well ;-)

% The following options are available:

passing those options to the server might need some fiddling with -- to
stop the local whois client from trying to interpret them (I use the RIPE
"whois3" client which doesn't try to, but YMMV).


Having never used RDAP, I am not sure if an option exists for it.

So, instead of telling Denis what not to do - why don't you just do
just that: submit a formal policy proposal, and engage in discussing it?

Denis clearly stated that he's getting more active *because nobody else

If you do not like Denis' being active - you know what to do.

While I might not agree with some of the actual ideas pushed out (and
will clearly voice my opinion if that is so), I *do* appreciate having
the mix of WG chairs - having some that step back and watch, and also
having some that do push for process on topics that they find important.

Not all WGs are equal.

In address policy, the chair role must be more neutral regarding the
actual topics discussed, but still can and should moderate, steer, and
if needed, stir the discussions.

I see DB as a more technical forum, where NWIs can be discussed on
technical merits - so having expert knowledge support this process is,
in my opinion, valuable.

(Also, this is all on a public and open mailing list, so everybody is
free to stand up at all times and say "Denis, this is not what I want").

I think you missed my point that there is no way you can ensure that 
A Random Network out there will accept any/all /48s from your /32.

Router memory is costly, and deaggregation eats up costly memory to
the point that people are forced to decide between "I need to buy a new
router, to carry someone else's deaggreated prefixes, which I'm not
paid for" or "just drop /48s, lots of money saved".

Your transit ISPs are paid by you to accept and propagate what you
agree between each other.  Most other parties are not contractually
bound, and as such, free to do what is reasonable for them.

You certainly can't be certain of that, ever.

I, for one, might decide that I will never ever accept /48s out of
/32 allocations, and there is nothing you can do - except give me money -
to make me change my mind.

... but this is highly non-relevant for "you will be DDoSed by many many
networks out in the world" (D = distributed), as long as *enough* networks
high enough in the routing food chain will accept the /48.

"ASSIGNMENT" = "one *individual* user" is not a valid assumption.

It's a customer.  Maybe.  It might be an enterprise with 100 offices,
or Joe Random Personal User.

I maintain that this part of the analysis is fundamentally flawed.

The size of an assignment does not have any correlation to the entity
that the prefix is assigned to - we can assign IPv4 /32s to corporate
customers, and we can assign IPv4 /28s to private end users, and this
is perfectly within the scope of the relevant RIPE policies.

Inventing restrictions based on "but it looks like!!" guesswork is
not what we are paying the RIPE NCC for.

*Especially* as the information entered is not PII itself, but 
a pointer to a URL which could, as has been stated, contain anything
from "ZZ" to very detailed addresses, fully under control and fully
in the responsibility of the entity maintaining that list.


I have the nagging suspicion that people are not listening here, because
all this was already said months ago, and we're still running in circles.

I find that approach flawed.  If I send you an update that differs in
parts humans will find interesting to read, and that you are going to 
*store*, ignoring it as part of the "has anything changed" check will
do no good, and create friction at times.

Ignoring bits that are *not stored* (like, whitespace normalizations,
or possible uppercase/lowercase stuff on attribute names, etc.) makes 
sense to me.  Emphasis on "not stored".

Multicast networks are not announced in BGP, so, why do you need a route:
object for?

(These addresses must never be used as a source IP, and for destination
resolution, a multicast tree needs to be built by MP-BGP, MSDP, PIM)

I *can* imagine myself calling someone and saying "there is a massive

I like that suggestion.

I actually disagree with that - speaking from my use case as a user
of the RIPE DB.  If I bother going there, it's urgent, and I want 
something to happen *now* (otherwise, I'm not going to bother).  
E-Mail might arrive with any delay, or never, and feedback might
come, or not.

So, no, *for the purpose of contact data in the RIPE DB*, I do not
think that "e-mail is better than phone".

(Of course I personally hate it if people call me.  But people who do
so pretty quickly learn the difference between "it is urgent *now*,
so phone is perfectly fine" and "an e-mail would have been sufficient")

Maybe I expressed myself badly.  I was primarily describing my use
case "why would I want to look at *anything* in the RIPE-DB" - and
that is, usually, because something is broken and I find myself in 
the need to contact people.  In that situation, their network might
be broken (or mine, or something in between) so e-mail or a web
form might just not work - this is why we have a phone system.

If nothing is broken, I do not look at person or role objects at all.


That said, of course having "no phone number" is a better data set
than "a phone number that looks good to the DB but is useless" :-)

*That* said - if people do not want to be contacted about issues with
their network, then we should ask ourselves if putting these contacts
into the RIPE-DB is the correct thing to do - phone numbers or not -
to me this is the prime reason we store contact data there, to reach
responsible persons/teams when there is something with their network
that needs attention.


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.

I'm not sure I agree - as in "why is there a person/role object in
the first place? -> so I know who to call in case things need an
urgent resolution!".

And, calling people needs phone numbers...

So, I agree that the inconsistency between person: and role: does not
make much sense (I might see a role: object and want a phone number to
call...) - but the more fundamental question is "if that object is of no
use to a person looking for a point of contact, why have that object
there in the first place?"...

"Simple"?

Maybe you can enlighten us how to achieve that Simple Matter, in the context 
of "country:" attributes which have a well defined syntax.

This is not about "any arbitrary web interface which displays a list of

I think this is not so much a DB-WG issue, but a NCC members / board issue.

This is something I'd agree to.

The consequences of that ("insert arbitrary rules into the RIPE DB based
on assumptions on what might or might not consider an end-user assignment,
and disallow some attributes on that"), not.

We don't ever register inet(6)num: for individuals, only for corporate
customers.

Even if we did, if I had agreement from the customer (in writing!) that
they are fine with me putting their full name, phone number, postal 
address *and* geofeed attribute in the DB, this is not the NCC's 
business to disallow "geofeed", while allowing all the other PII data.


(Just for completeness, I don't actually intend to *use* geofeed, but
this discussion really upsets me, because it's wasting life time for no
good reason)

The IPv6 address policy clearly states that it's up to the ISP what size
they want to assign to end users (up to a maximum of /48 per end user site,
or something).

So an ISP registering a /48 as AGGREGATED-BY-LIR and assigning /56s
out of that would be fully compliant with the existing policy, and the
NCC should not meddle with their intent to register that block any
way they want.

Please tell Legal to re-read the existing IPv6 policies and re-think their
opinion on what can be "reasonably assumed to be related to one individual
user", based on actual policy text.  Maybe speak with one or two large
operators on existing deployments.

The /48 size in the BCOP is a recommendation, but *policy* gives the
ISPs leeway to assign whatever they find suitable.  Typically, this has
been /56 in many large eyeball provides, for a long time now - and
/48s for "business customers".

I suspect it is me/us, after all...  a fair amount of ICANN financing comes
from the joint RIRs, if I'm not mistaken.  So yes, if we tell the RIRs,
they should be able to achieve an effect.

(Inter-RIR politics leading to non-agreement on ICANN requirements aside,

Not sure which is the best way forward here - "individual members of the

As I'm lazy (and not good in dealing with other organization's processes)

I'm not sure it's the community's job to review IANA data continuously
and fix their DB every time a network transfer between RIRs is done.

I'm fairly sure a smart mind can come up with some solution involving

The NCC is not the root of the address distribution tree.  IANA is.

So pointing people from all over the world to the RIPE NCC "because IANA
can't get their part right" is conceptually the wrong approach.

In practice, it might provide a fast and convenient approach today, but
why can't IANA just do that?  Mirror the RIR stats files, point people
asking *at the root of the tree* to the right branch.

My take on this is: referrals MUST NOT loop.

That is, if IANA points me to the RIPE NCC, and the network got moved
*elsewhere*, the RIPE NCC should have a referral to "elsewhere", and
not point "back to IANA".

Ideally, IANA should point to the final RIR right away.

(I see the "use RDAP, not whois" comment as sort of confusing - if the
data source is good, the query method should not matter, and if the data
source is bad, it definitely won't matter.  If RDAP gives a proper referral
and whois gives a bad one, the server needs to be fixed - but that's not
a *protocol* issue)

While Anycast 6to4 needs to die, it isn't fully dead yet.  So routes for
these two prefixes are legitimate.

If I'm not misunderstanding you, what you want to see is these
objects:

inetnum:82.108.52.0 - 82.108.53.255
netname:ABC

so that's the "type" you need to specify: "inetnum".  "netname:" is not
an object type, but an attribute.

$ whois3 -r -T inetnum ABC

-> 15 objects (-r restricts returning of referred person: objects)

Or do you want to restrict your search to "only match ABC in the netname:
attribute"?  I'm not sure if it can be done, but that's not what "--type"
is for in any case.

While minor from a database issue, this was actually a fairly major issue
from an address policy point of view - we do have a special policy that
permits the NCC to assign addresses to itself, with the policy check being
done not by the hostmasters but by the board of arbiters (if I remember
correctly).

So yes, this is intentional... the NCC is member of the NCC, regarding 
address space assignments.

Maybe this has already been fixed and my reply is "stale" - but taking
that risk.

From what I can see, the NCC isn't authoritative on the 28.147.in-addr.arpa
zone, so trying to add an in-addr arpa object with "nserver:" in it tries
to instruct it to do something it can't do - put a delegation in the parent
zone.  This seems to confuse the tool...

Since the parent zone is (now?) running on these servers already, there
is no technical need for this domain: object to delegate the 0. subzone.

What are you trying to achieve?

That was my suggestion.  UTF8 internal, with an output filter to 
whatever charset the client can handle, possibly defaulting to ISO8859-1
on "whois" sessions.

From what I understand, the intent is to convert incoming e-mail:
attributes in "non-punycode format" to punycode before storing in the DB.

I do not have a very strong opinion on this proposed implementation.


In the long run, I think punycode is a horrible, horrible hack and must
die in flames.  So if we can have a proper database with proper charset
support, my surname would appreciate.

And yes, this will most likely involve UTF-8 internally and export filters
(I do not want to see UTF-8, ever, if I can have ISO8859-15 instead - yeah,
come, sue me)

This is true, but I was responding to Cynthia's suggestion of having a

And, while at it, can someone enlighten me why this is actually a

If the owner of the inetnum and the owner of the aut-num agree about

Why so?  If a LIR puts something into the database, which is allowed by
business rules, I see no rationale for resetting it.

Now if we as a group decide that certain changes should not be allowed,
that's a different matter - but do not arbitrarily undo user changes unless 
specifically asked for ("I have lost my maintainer password").

I'd assume that an AS would be handled the same as a PI block - you
(the LIR who acts as contact between end user and NCC) need to present 
a contract with the end user, and company registration papers for said
end user.  The org object would then need to match the paperwork (name,
address).

At least this has always been my experience when we had to clean up 
end user resources (company name changes, change of sponsoring LIR,
etc.)

I think this depends on the context that you want to *use* said org
object.  If you put it in as a standalone and unreferenced database
object, I think no vetting takes place.

If you want to tie resources to it that are maintained by the NCC
(allocations [PA] or end user assignments [PI]) this needs to go through
a NCC ticket, and they want to see paperwork.

If you want to tie resources to it that are maintained by yourself
(I have this customer, they have received a /27 out of my /22 PA, and,
because I can, I want to put in an org object for them), they are not
vetted, but by putting false data into the DB for your customer 
assignments you are violating your LIR contract - so that would be
a good way to get a LIR into trouble should the NCC be made aware.

The attack vector against unsalted hashes is "rainbow tables"... make the
API key something like 80 characters long, and no machine in the world
can do anything but brute force.

But why store the API key anyway.  Have it contain permissions plus a 
crytographically sane signature, and all you need to know is "in the key".

syncupdates needs some sort of credential.  Either you put your LIR access
(or mntner md5 password) into the script - which is arguably a bad idea -
or you have API tokens that are restricted to *only* API, not "API and all
else".

You could, certainly, argue that nobody should do RIPE DB updates in an
automated way...

Not sure how that is better than what we have today?

Tore's problem statement is "I have added a user to the LIR portal and
I do not want to subsequently update a database object to give DB privs
to said user" - SSO-SET won't help with that problem statement.

Your case would help a LIR that has umpteen different mntner: objects
that should all use the same (sub-)set of SSO credentials, and you want
to update them in a single place.

While I can see that use case, it's solving a different problem.

If you partition a PA block, the result is PA.

If you partition a PI block, the result is PI.

(Though I wonder if "LIR-PARTITIONED PI" is actually a real thing, and
strictly speaking the documentation quoted *can not* be correct, because
you can't partition "an allocation" into "PI")

More verbose explanation on these values is here:

Please keep the discussion on the address-policy-wg list (reply-to: set),

One of the problems here is that the RIPE DB cannot reliably know if
a GPG key is revoked, unless it is *told*.

"Telling it" can be done nicely by removing the key-cert object - otherwiese
it would need to poll key-servers and hope for a key revocation to appear
there.

A catch-22 arises if the key-cert object needs a signed update with that
very key to be deleted...

(Not providing solutions, just bringing up aspects to consider)

Since no existing objects will be removed, it will not break anything
relying on these objects today.

New objects cannot be created anymore, right.  Which is the whole point.

Job has pointed out alternatives if people feel they must create an
unauthorized route: object somewhere.  And this really is something
that people need to discuss with their upstream providers how *those*
do filtering, and what needs to be registered where.

Please learn to read.

"Address management, delegation and authority are very clearly regionalized",
which means you cannot just go to some place you find convenient and complain

It's the way our community works.  

We discuss a problem, propose a solution, get agreement on problem and
solution, get an implementation plan, agree to this, and *then implement it*.

We do *not* go through all the process and stop right at the end because
someone decides to disagree *months after the time for discussion was 
ended*.

Please read RFC7282 - while we're not the IETF, this is comparably to
the way the RIPE working groups operate wrt consensus and "someone is
always complaining".

We look for "which ASes are they going to announce, and which routes 
originate by those".  

This fine-grained crap is something we ignore anyway (so, a tool that
parses this and warns about non-understood extentions is ok, a tool
that errors out is not helpful).

I wonder if this is the right question to ask, or we should step back
and ask the question

   what can we do to provide a secure routing registry where people
   can document "this prefix will be announced by that AS" in a way
   that is a) strongly authenticated (= only the current holder of the
   address space can create such a route: object), and b) easy to use
   for people building filters (= not having to walk 5 different IRRDBs
   to find the set of prefixes announced by a possible customer)?

instead?  A, B or C may be a consequence of this.


In any case, given that we have no proper global registry, and we have
lots of cross-region routes ("addresses from RIR A, AS number from RIR B"),
we need to find a way to document these properly.

From a user perspective, I like to have all route: objects for my customers
in a single place (RIPE BD, that is), so for me, "A" would be most convenient
- but we need to add some sort of cross-RIR authentication layer.

This might indeed be the way forward for "I have a customer in my RIPE

There are those that actually do read their incoming abuse reports, and
that care to direct those properly for the resources they have taken
stewardship.

We *do* read our abuse reports, and we have a few customers that we
trust to do their own reading - and since I'm a lazy bastard, I want
the system to make this easy for me to maintain (with the abuse contact
