IIRC it's the fifth principle of the EU Directive that Personal Data can't be kept or processed for longer than is necessary. This will be enacted in the national Data Protection law for each EU member state. The directive's principles may well underpin legislation in other parts of the world too. So some sort of timer for contact objects could be useful. I would have thought though that contact objects would automagically get deleted from the registry whenever their reference count from domain objects and the like dropped to zero. _______________________________________________ provreg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/provreg
