We have been slow to clarify this from the RIPE NCC end, for which I
apologize. As was already mentioned by Mark and John in previous
messages in this thread, the initial report from the RIPE NCC wasn't
complete, which has lead to unnecessary confusion.

A follow up message with additional detail was sent to the RIPE NCC DNS
working group list earlier today:
 https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/dns-wg/2017-March/003401.html

We hope that this clarifies matters sufficiently.

Kind regards,
Romeo Zwart
