In this time DENIC has also registered both IP numbers and domains. We were part of the RIPE community. In these times both parties agreed that it is a good idea to store domain data in the RIPE database and therefore RIPE has implemented this. BtW in this times the we also dreamed from handle referal between INTERNIC, RIPE & ARIN ;-). In the meantime we see that ccTLD-databases expands much faster than IP-databases.

There were discussions in this time and there was a feeling that it's usefull. That feeling has changed and we take the consequences.

Thats also not a duty of CENTR to serve a central database.
