[lir-wg] Re: New draft: "New Values of the 'status:' attribute for inet6num Objects"

  Dear Leo and "Team",

  Looks good!

  Procedural question:
  
  How are we going to modify existing objects to conform to this proposal?
  Right now the template query returns:
  
bash-2.05a$ wripe -t inet6num
[ ... ]
inet6num:      [mandatory]  [single]     [primary/look-up key]
[ ... ]
status:        [generated]  [single]     [ ]
[ ... ]

  and it seems to be "optional" for the (new) ALLOCATED-BY-RIR case:
  
bash-2.05a$ wripe -r 2001:0628::/35
[ ... ]
inet6num:     2001:0628::/35
netname:      AT-ACONET-19990920
descr:        ACOnet Sub-TLA block

changed:      hostmaster at ripe.net 20011019
source:       RIPE

  Is this going to change? E.g. to:
  
status:        [mandatory]  [single]     [ ]

  The wording used in the draft seems to indicate  [optional] [single] [ ].
  I think some clarification would be helpful.
  
  Thanks, cheers,
  Wilfried.
