[db-wg] FYI: Cleanup of domain objects.

Dear Colleagues,

Excuxes for the duplicate messages.

During the third week of March we will perform the cleanup as
described in section B of the "Domain Cleanup Proposal"[1].  Users
affected by this cleanup were contacted during the first week of
January 2004[2].

Once the domain object cleanup has been finished, the RIPE NCC
provisioning system will be migrated to generate reverse zones from
the whois database. We will proceed with that around the last week of
March 2004. This change should be transparent. A small notification
will be sent to the dns-wg mailing list.

The next step of the RDNS project [3] will be the introduction of the
"mnt-domain:" attribute. More information about this introduction will
be sent to the ncc-services-wg and dns-wg mailing lists by the end of
March 2004.

Please reply to me in private or to the <dns-wg at ripe.net> mailing list
if you have any questions or comments.
