[DBWG] RIPE proposed changes to the routing registry

[Frank Habicht]

Hi all,

maybe a (growing) white-list of (non-AfriNIC) ASNs allowed as "origin:"
can be maintained and additions are vetted by Hostmaster(s)??


Sound like some work, but likely less than manually doing each route(6)
addition for these cases.

just wondering...

Regards,
Frank
