So here is my 4 step proposal that I believe could be implemented within a
month. If we implemented this you can be sure that all ROUTE objects in the
RIPE Database were created with the knowledge and approval of the related
resource holders. I believe that is the desired goal.
This sounds like a workable and fairly low-effort approach to me which
would bring lots of direct benefits. So +1, full support.
(I do see some resistance in the form "but, but, what about the other
databases?" - yes, we need to clean up cross-registry and all that, but
cleaning up our own backyard right away without having to wait for
the global solution is GOOD)
I agree a full implementation of cross registry auth with all 4 other
RIRs would be great....but how far has that gone in the last 6 months
since the last RIPE Meeting?
STEP 4
This is a one off cleanup of existing ROUTE objects. For all ROUTE
objects currently in the RIPE Database that relate to an out of
region, existing resource, send the appropriate notifications. For
any that no response is received within a week, delete the ROUTE
object from the RIPE Database.
I'm a bit more careful about that one, though - in principle, yes, but
"one week" is a bit harsh here, so I'd go for multiple reminders and
a longer time. This is a different case than "I have just added this
object and it is now showing up (with an appropriate message by the
DB robot), so let's just check my mail until the reminder appears!".
Agreed.
(NB: did you intentionally not copy db-wg?)
I put this idea on the table before the last RIPE Meeting. I even wrote
a RIPE Labs article on it. I wasn't there but tried to get it input to
the BOFF on the issue. But I was pretty much ignored. So I thought this
time I will target the people who make the most complaints about the
consequences of the problem.
If these guys like the idea then maybe the DB WG will pick it up :)
