I don't think you can unilaterally declare what's operational and
what's not.

Does anyone else feel that the anti-abuse working group should ask
RIPE NCC to work with its lawyers to make this data available?

By definition, role objects do not contain personal data.
Corporations are not persons.

> If, after processing that data, you need the personal data for a
> specific object you can query the RIPE Database for that object and

If you proceed in that direction, you will soon be forced to
discontinue that service, too.

This is preposterous.  As it stands, the whole thing is totally
opt-in.  There is no requirement whatsoever to associate inetnum
objects with personal data.
