[DBWG] person without email... and domain object size

[Frank Habicht]

Hi AfriNIC staff,

since when is the 'e-mail:' attribute for 'person' objects mandatory?

I just found
nic-hdl:        SE1-AFRINIC
that does not have an email.

It's got a GENERATED maintainer, and I'm also wondering how these new
maintainer credentials were communicated to the "person".

Yes, I don't want to rely on 'changed:' attributes.

Staff:
How many 'person' objects don't have an 'e-mail:' attribute ?


[slowly getting to another issue....]

Why did I get to check this person object at all....?

Because in a domain object it is
tech-c:         SE1-AFRINIC
zone-c:         SE1-AFRINIC


Also, the domain object is since "2020-02-02 02:02"
( nice time stamp!! ;-) ) marked as all 'nserver' being *lame*.
So when is it meant to get deleted?
I hope we're not waiting for the tech-c or zone-c to respond to the
email, which we could not send, because the 'person' doesn't have an
email address?

But what really got me to check the domain object:

domain:
0.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.8.f.3.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa

yes, it's a bit long. a reverse DNS delegation for a /128

This is probably "legal".
But:
a) if disputable 'usefulness', and
b) I see "tremendous' potential for growth in the DB - in a bad way


All, Staff and WG:

should creation of domain objects be limited to certain prefix sizes?


Thanks,
Frank
