- During Tim Bruijnzeels’s RIPE Database Operational Update, the proposal to replace the “changed:” attribute with “last-modified:” / “created:” sparked a lively discussion between audience members and RIPE NCC staff; the details will be worked out on the mailing list.
- Job Snijders’s proposal to “revive” the Working Group received a lot of comments, and Nathalie Trenaman from the RIPE NCC used the opportunity to explain some of their plans for improving the user interface for the RIPE Database. There were suggestions from the audience to adjust the way the “abuse-c:” attribute is being used in the RIPE Database and a lengthy discussion ensued.
