<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-IN">I think the
issue here is ideological. Many people believe that RIRs are mere bookkeepers,
and it is not in their mandate to inject data into the routing database. That
is the reason why RIPE did not approve a similar proposal, which I totally
agree with. Moreover, I wanted to react to Jordi’s statement, saying that these
objections are based on practical and technical matters. There is not only one
routing database, there are many, isn’t it kind of messy? And that is not even
the main reason why I object to this policy. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-IN">From
another perspective, since people can adjust and control their routers, can you
precise how this policy can potentially prevent/ reduce hijacking?</span></p>
