Correct.

There is actually no explicit requirement in the wording of our policies
the requires *global* announcements. There is however an assumption that
if the prefix does not appear in a route-server then it has not been
announced.

The consensus at the public policy meeting was that global announcements
are not a requirement but I think that we do need to clarify the exact
intent and requirements of our current policies.
