[rpd] RFC7020 Errata report

[Owen DeLong]

So I finally got around to looking into my RFC-7020 errata report about the claim being used here
to claim that RFC-7020 denies out-of-region use.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered not only that the errata has already been reported (not a complete
surprise), but that it was reported shortly after my first mention by John Curran himself…

Errata ID: 6664 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6664>
Status: Verified
Type: Technical
Publication Format(s) : TEXT
Reported By: John Currran
Date Reported: 2021-08-23
Verifier Name: Erik Kline
Date Verified: 2021-08-24

Section 3 says:

In cases where LIRs span multiple regions, those LIRs have established relationships with multiple RIRs. 
It should say:

In cases where LIRs span multiple regions, those LIRs have often established relationships with multiple RIRs.

Alternatetively:

In cases where LIRs span multiple regions, those LIRs often have established relationships with multiple RIRs.
Notes:

The statement about LIRs in multiple regions using multiple RIRs is remains likely for many instances but not universally - particularly given the inter-RIR transfer policies adopted since RFC7020's initial publication.


So, not only were my prior statements regarding RFC-7020 and out-of-region use being commonplace true.

We now have verification of that fact from an RIR CEO.
