as every DE-domainowner is our customer and we are responisble to him 
about the security of his domainname we must assure that changes are made 
in a verifyable and accountable way. It is important that there is a 
documented responsibility.

no comment.

changes in interfaces are sometimes necessary. But I am with you that this 
should happen very rarely and should be prepared very well and people 
should be informed very soon -- but we tried to make all this.

we are only allowed to publish these things if the custoumer have signed 
that he allows the publishing. Currently we think that from nearly none of 
the persons in the RIPE-DB this allowence is there. For the future we plan 
to let the people the choice to publish these data.

sorry I don't understand these point. Maybe you can show me an example of 
these "test data".

As we are working on a costrecovery base (non-profit) more members don't 
means automatically more income. But surely are we are interested in 
organisations taking the responsibitlity and sharing the risk to run the 
German Registry as a self regulating body for the benefits of the German 
Internet Community.
