[db-wg] NWI-2 - displaying history for DB objects where available

Dear Working Group,

This is the second Numbered Work Item.

(You can review https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2016-April/005190.html 
to ensure you have an overview of the next steps.)

---------
NWI-2:

    The RIPE NCC was tasked with the following action point: AP69.2
    [RIPE NCC] Come up with some straw man proposals for displaying
    history for objects where available.

    The RIPE Database already provides a mechanism for object history.
    In our understanding the problem statement that motivated the action
    point is that some people are interested in seeing the history of
    *deleted* objects. It is our understanding that this interest is
    mainly focussed on primary (resource) objects.

    However, it is not entirely clear to the RIPE NCC why this is
    useful. We also have some concerns, mainly non-technical, and
    therefore we believe that the problem statement and motivation needs
    to be better defined in the working group.
---------

The next step is to help refine the problem statement. I would
appreciate it if working group participants with an interest in the
history of objects speak up and elaborate on the issue. 

Kind regards,

Job
