Re: [db-wg] A test on AFRINIC range announcing without RIPE route object

Hi All The co-chairs of the DB-WG are talking in the background to the RIRs about how this change will impact the holders of their address space. We are following the points raised here and checking some issues with the appropriate RIRs. The RIPE NCC Database team is also in the loop of these talks so any relevant points can be included in their impact analysis. As some have already said consensus is not unanimity and there is a consensus to close this security hole in the RIPE Database. Even though the security hole will continue to exist in many alternative and commercial IRRs and will continue to be exploited by abusers for some considerable time. cheersdenisco-chair DB-WG
