[db-wg] Whois Inverse Query by "sponsoring-org:" Attribute

Colleagues

Interesting comments. Maybe I am the problem with the DB-WG? I
announce that I am stepping down as co-chair after the next RIPE
Meeting, Ed makes a proposal and within 4 hours on a Friday afternoon
8 people have supported the proposal. We haven't had that much support
for anything on this list for a number of years. Looks like it is the
right time for me to go...

cheers
denis
(still) co-chair DB-WG

DISCLAIMER
Everything I said above is my personal, professional opinion. It is
what I believe to be honest and true to the best of my knowledge. No
one in this industry pays me anything. I have nothing to gain or lose
by any decision. I push for what I believe is for the good of the
Internet, in some small way. Nothing I say is ever intended to be
offensive or a personal attack. Even if I strongly disagree with you
or question your motives. Politicians question each other's motives
all the time. RIPE discussion is often as much about politics and self
interest as it is technical. I have a style of writing that some may
not be familiar with, others sometimes use it against me. I also have
OCD. It makes me see the world slightly differently to others. It
drives my mind's obsessive need for detail. I can not change the way I
express my detailed opinions. People may choose how to interpret them.
