Way back in 2008 it was suggested that the RIPE Database could be used<br>
for linking people well known within the network operating industry.<br>
The concept of 'whitepages' was introduced. This was an ORGANISATION<br>
object (ORG-PAGE1-RIPE) with 'org-type: WHITEPAGES' that could be<br>
referenced by PERSON objects to override the automatic deletion of<br>
PERSON objects not referenced by any resource object. In today's<br>
privacy world, it is a bad idea to use the RIPE Database as a phone<br>
book. Currently there are only 4 people whose PERSON object references<br>
this ORGANISATION object. (There are also 5 moderators referenced in<br>
the ORGANISATION object who have probably long since forgotten they<br>
had anything to do with it :) )<br>
<br>
I think we should now deprecate this concept. LinkedIn is much more<br>
suited to keeping in touch with networking people. Comments<br>
appreciated...<br>
