Well, changed attribute is manadatory so there should be at least one for every maintainer object returned. Nowadays, one has to use '-B' whois switch to get back the changed atribute: # whois -h whois.ripe.net '-h' ... % -B Disables the filtering of "notify:", "changed:" and "e-mail:" % attributes. ... AFAIK it's technically possible to replace the original changed atribute provided you are able to pass one of the objects' mnt-by maintainer check (password/signature). This is something one shouldn't do - original changed atribute value should be kept. > > Does RIPE NCC provide the data upon formal request from the relevant > authorities? > Don't have any experience so can't comment on this. I expect archive whould contain at least the original submission requesting the maintainer object creation and also the subsequent modifications. Martin
