The RIPE didn't want to serve the .de-namespace for free any longer and it seems that the DeNic didn't want to pay for the services. I agree that the better solution would have been to pay the RIPE for service. > > In the meanwhile we have Handles with the same key XYZ-RIPE, with different > contents in RIPE-db and DeNIC-db (not only the missing remarks, but also > phone and fax, and if someone makes changes to one of the two handles the > other will keep the old data). ....and what if a handle is deleted from one DB but not from the other? Once the handle # is re-assigned, the owner of a domain depends on the server you ask. I think, the best thing is to restore the deleted records from RIPE backups and to remove the referer to the DeNic-whois-server until either the DeNic is paying or is running a workable service (maybe with references to the RIPE-whois-server for persons).
