[db-wg] RIPE Database - Historical Information

Hi Bijal,

I do not believe more data than is currently available should be made available.

I suppose trying to filter fields that shouldn't contain personal data
could be a good idea but I am not sure how practical that would be.

If you remove all free text attributes other than org-name I guess you
could do it.
Like remove remarks, descr, etc.

But I am not sure how feasible this is in practice.

Currently some attributes are filtered out to limit the exposure of unnecessary personal data. If providing historical data is a requirement the RIPE Database must fulfill, we will recommend the RIPE NCC to examine if additional filtering can be applied to limit further the unnecessary exposure of personal data in attributes that are not meant to contain personal data.
