The problem I see here is: This number will mean very little to the whois users outside the EU. If somebody puts any kind of number which is meaningful only in the organisation's country, then an explanation of what that number is, and how it can be used, must be put in a "remarks:" attribute. Thus a "remarks:" attribute is already required?? > Azucena > > > > > > I think that this is something too specific to have its own attribute. > > > "remarks:" attribute can be used for this I guess, just like it can > > > be used to point users to web pages etc. > > > > I dont agree: the point about the attribute would be to uniquely identify > > the organisation within a country.
