I have a trivial little Perl program called "dupcount" that does exactly what its name implies. I ran it on a fresh copy of the database, as part of a command pipeline as follows: % gzcat ripe.db.gz | grep '^org-type:' | dupcount Results were as follows: 99651 org-type: OTHER 24055 org-type: LIR 1131 org-type: Other 1034 org-type: other 3 org-type: OTher 1 org-type: RIR 1 org-type: IANA 1 org-type: WHITEPAGES 1 org-type: OTHEr I gather from this that case should generally be ignored when parsing this field value. Would it also be appropriate to assume that LEGACY number resources have generally been associated with ORG records of type OTHER? Have any or all of those ORGs ever been vetted in any way? And what about number resources that are presently associated with no ORG whatsoever, for example, the following ones? I am having a bit of trouble understanding how a <<void>> organization gets (or got) vetted by NCC. (I should perhaps clarify that of the following 120 ASNs, fully 108 of them are listed as status: LEGACY, however that leaves another 12 wih status: ASSIGNED, and for those, and also the LEGACY ones, the vetting, if any, that has been applied seems to me to be a at least a bit ambiguous.)
