Kurtis Lindqvist, RIPE NCC Services Working Group Chair, asked why 2007-01 appears to be generating the highest workload for the Registration Services department. Andrew explained that the project is nearing the end and more resources have been assigned to it.

Carsten Schiefner, DENIC eG, asked whether all or just some of the hijacks seen were sophisticated. Andrew reflected that the more sophisticated
approaches appear to be originating from people or companies that are
targeting multiple address blocks.

Mikael Abrahamsson, T-Systems, asked for the definition of "hijack". Andrew clarified that anyone illegitimately taking over someone else's resources would fall into this category. He further confirmed that if changes are made due to mergers or acquisitions over the years, these can be looked at individually and are not considered to be hijacks.

Pierre-Antoine Vervier, Symantec, asked whether the RIPE NCC had seen registry data being modified. Andrew confirmed that yes, this was the case.

There were no further questions.
