[DBWG] RIPE proposed changes to the routing registry

[Saul Stein]

Hi

>However, given that a check like this *is* being done today, so far it's
been felt easier to have a human do it, than to automate around all the
edge cases. Like for example where the "foreign" >ASN is registered to a
subsidiary or parent company, so there is no *direct* one-to-one mapping
of Org name in WHOIS, and knowledge of multi-national business
relationships may be needed >to determine the link.

SO either remove the check or:
Why not automate for the 99% of the cases so that we can have instant
gratification at what ever hour of the night. If however you fall into
that 1% of dubious origins, that it is held for validation for the first
time. Thereafter for the next request, it will be automatically approved.
While that isn't ideal, its that start while you work out how to resolve
the automation.

Thanks
Saul
