[ncc-announce] Lir Portal software upgrade notifications

Dear Colleagues,

On Monday, 13 August 2007 we performed a software upgrade that resulted
in e-mail notifications about changes to objects in the RIPE Database.

The reason for the upgrade was that in the old system registries
could have multiple e-mail addresses and contact persons, but there
was no logical connection between the two.

In the new set-up, every registry has one generic e-mail address that
also shows up in the RIPE Database ORGANISATION object. If your
organisation was using more e-mail addresses, the first one was used
for this. Additional e-mail addresses were matched to existing contacts,
or in case they couldn't be matched, new contacts were made for them.

This change was necessary for future development of our portal services
and registry database.

Please log in to LIR Portal if you want to verify or change your contact
details. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to
sw-bugs at ripe.net.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Regards,

Trudy Prins
Business Applications Manager, RIPE NCC
