Hi Lu
My
current understanding is that AFRINIC does not refuse to create a ROUTE
simply because you do not own the foreign ASN. They may do some
additional checks, but if everything is in order they will permit the
ROUTE creation. So this is not a show stopper.
As
a side note, if you have concerns about AFRINIC you are better to raise
these points on an AFRINIC mailing list. It may be of interest to the
RIPE community how other regions work, but you will never change AFRINIC
policies or procedures by complaining about them on a RIPE mailing
list.
cheers

Subject: [db-wg] A test on AFRINIC range announcing without RIPE route object
Current situation:
AFRINIC accepts foreign ASN with manual verification of the ownership of the ASN holder as stated by their hostmaster in the mailing list. If you don't own the ASN, they will not create the route object. Despite this, the process is long and unpractical in daily operation.
