I do not believe any future ROUTE and ROUTE6 object creation should be permitted routinely, for non-RIPE address space, inside the RIPE NCC routing registry. -George On Thu, Jan 11, 2018 at 9:21 AM, denis walker via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> wrote:

Plans to implement the solution for NWI-5 by dropping the auth requirement from ASNs in ROUTE(6) object creation and marking existing out of region ROUTE(6) objects in the database with a different source tag are progressing.
In December I asked if we should continue to allow the creation of new ROUTE(6) objects in the RIPE Database (with the new source tag) for non RIPE address space.
There were a few comments supporting the view NOT to allow any new object creations. There were no comments supporting the continued creation of any new objects.
During the earlier, lengthy discussion on NWI-5 quite a few people supported the use of the RIPE Database for ROUTE(6) objects for non RIPE address space. With the plan to drop the ASN auth requirement are those people satisfied that we no longer need to create these ROUTE(6) objects in the RIPE Database?
So basically I am making a last call to see if anyone still feels there is any need to allow creation of any new ROUTE(6) objects in the RIPE Database for non RIPE address space?
