Hi George,

I think the previously stated position from APNIC region is clear: we have problems with the logistics which permit resources from our region to be included in IRR statements in the RIPE DB, when no formal check is made of permission or integrity, and we do not see any clear path to a deployable mechanism to provide authorization checks over resources from out of region.

its a broken process. it inherently permits things to be said, which should not have been said.

Time to set up a joint IRR database where only authoritative data from participating RIRs is stored? Cheers, Sander
