[ncc-services-wg] Deletion of Forward DOMAIN object data from the RIPE Database

[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC announced to the mailing lists on 29 March that Forward
DOMAIN object data will be deleted this week:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2011/msg00074.html

All Forward DOMAIN object data has now been deleted from the RIPE
Database, except for the four top-level domain (TLD) operators who are
still actively using the RIPE Database.

It is not possible for any user to re-create a top-level Forward DOMAIN
object in the RIPE Database. Without the TLD object, no second-level
DOMAIN object creations can be authorised. When the last four TLD
operators have moved their data to their own systems, we will modify the
update software so it will not recognise any Forward DOMAIN objects.

Regards,
Denis Walker
RIPE NCC Database Group
