I cannot understand why the DENIC doesn't help funding with one central ripe
database instead of setting up a own system. The usability and work of the 
ripe database was the best database ever, with automated robot for updates 
within minutes and a very good maintainer scheme.

I just got response from the denic regarding my questions about future
updates to handles. As it seems the change of Handles will now only be
possible for members of the Denic eG, so many smaller providers who aren't
members, but are buying their domains from another one will have to redirect
all changes to this member. I treat this as a very brain-damaged system.

In the meanwhile we have Handles with the same key XYZ-RIPE, with different
contents in RIPE-db and DeNIC-db (not only the missing remarks, but also
phone and fax, and if someone makes changes to one of the two handles the
other will keep the old data).

And then the past changes of the DeNIC to set unmaintained Handles under
their own Maintainer DENIC-P is abusive usage of the ripe database in my
eyes. They had no permission to change our handles and the change made no 
sense, as the DeNIC won't support maintainers in their own database as 
mentioned above.

Why has this mess had to happen?
