Dear colleagues,
We’re happy to share that, as of 30 April, the reg-nr: attribute is now
available in the RIPE Database following the completion of NWI-21.
https://www.ripe.net/community/wg/active-wg/db/numbered-work-items/
First proposed at RIPE 91 in the Address Policy Working Group and then
discussed further in the Database Working Group, it’s now in place ahead
of RIPE 92. This is a great example of how community input can quickly
turn into something tangible and useful. Thank you to all who provided
feedback and contributed to this outcome.
The reg-nr: attribute adds the official company registration number of
resource holders to organisation objects co-maintained by the RIPE NCC.
This makes it easier to clearly identify organisations, especially where
names are similar or the same.
Please note that this does not apply to all organisation objects. For
privacy reasons, a reg-nr: with value "Not applicable" will be published
for natural persons and governmental organisations.
If you come across information that appears incorrect or incomplete,
please let us know by sending an email to [email protected]. Our Member
Services team will follow up.
