nic-hdl

The NIC-handle of the person object.

mnt-by

The identifier of a registered mntner object used for authorisation and authentication.

In the web interface, the mnt-by attribute contains a link to the specified mntner.

Note: if you are creating a new person object and do not have an existing mntner object, please specify �MAINT-NEW� as the mnt-by value.

Alternatively, create your new person and new maintainer objects at the same time using the APNIC person and maintainer object request form.
