All, If it's *your* table, you should be able.
Again, I disagree. Just because you have a copy of the routing table doesn't automatically put you in a position to know what is going on with each entry present in that table. But please keep in mind than one event or a handful of events shouldn't
justify an investigation, or handing a case to "experts".
The current policy proposal doesn't have text to support this. If the issue is fixed and the issue originator isn't always the same, then
no real need for an investigation. Maybe the amount of text on the current version fades a bit the two main concepts of "persistent" and "intentional".
I am in agreement with you on this. There should be enough "trail" to justify starting an investigation...
If the person submitting a report isn't in an authoritative position to say whether or not an announcement was a hijack, there isn't a good enough "trail" to justify starting an investigation. The "proposal". It's just a proposal...! :-) I agree that there isn't a way to measure how many people around the world would not resort to hijacking if this proposal was in place today My apologies for misspeaking on that one. Any references I may have made to 2019-3 as a "policy" should read as "policy proposal". Just because a policy proposal has the chance to discourage bad actors doesn't mean we should ignore the potential consequences of implementing the proposal.

I disagree. Just because you see what you think is a hijack in the full table doesn't mean you have enough information to justify a full investigation that is likely to consume valuable time and resources.

Afaik, this is possible within LACNIC (i.e. through
warp.lacnic.net). When
the same proposal was discussed there, the yearly number of
reports (if
i'm not mistaken) was on the scale of dozens -- and they have a
very high
degree of helping stop/mitigate the incidents, almost close to
100%, which
is fantastic!
Being asked to fix an issue is very different from getting investigated
for an issue with the potential for termination of membership.
If the issue is fixed and the issue originator isn't always the same, then no real need for an investigation. Maybe the amount of text on the current version fades a bit the two main concepts of "persistent" and "intentional".
While I haven't seen a proposal for establishing a system like LACNIC's WARP under RIPE, I'd be open to the idea.
Great. Does anyone think this is a bad idea?
That would probably fall under the ncc-services-wg, so we'll have to see :-)
I fail to identify exactly were the proposal describes such a need. Even so, the experts should be binded to NDAs... :-)
While having the experts under NDA is a step in the right direction, it
still involves effectively being required to turn information over to external parties due to the suspicions of some random AS. My concern isn't so much that the
information will be leaked; my concern is that, fundamentally, being required to turn information over to a third party on someone's unsupported suspicions seems wrong.
There should be enough "trail" to justify starting an investigation...
Right now, the policy seems to pull a large amount of resources and risk (per the impact analysis) without enough of a return.
The "proposal". It's just a proposal...! :-)
I agree that there isn't a way to measure how many people around the world would not resort to hijacking if this proposal was in place today :-)

If that happens, then potentially everyone can be a victim, yes. Then they should be able to place a report. But that's a fundamental part of why some changes are needed: it's not only the legitimate address space owner who is the victim of an hijack. People/networks whose packets are diverted by an hijack are also victims of traffic interception.

I can fully agree that a system based on (possibly forged) LOAs, and unauthenticated IRR created the huge mess we are submerged in today... :(((
