[address-policy-wg] New Draft Document: RIPE Whois Registration in 2005: What should be in Whois and Why?

Dear Colleagues,

At RIPE 49, Eva Ericsson Rabete (TeliaSonera) made a presentation to the 
Address Policy Working Group in which she asked some questions about the 
state of the RIPE Whois Database. Following the discussion at the 
meeting, Eva was asked to take the discussion onto this list (Action 
Point 49.4).

A draft document discussing the uses of the RIPE Whois Database, and 
detailing questions to consider, has been published in the "Latest Draft 
Documents" section of the RIPE Document Store.

The purpose of this draft document is to encourage discussion about what 
elements should be in the Whois Database and why they should be there.

This draft document is available at:

Regards,
