I do not believe this is an accurate statement of fact. I believe that most inaccuracies in RIR databases are due to either ignorance of requirements of assignment registration or willfully not following these requirements for a variety of reasons. While I didn't spend a decade as a RIR Hostmaster, I did spend several years as one, and conducted many training courses on LIR responsibilities vis a vis the regiatry. When folks understand what they are supposed to do, they normally do it. In addition, I authored a current policy in the AFRINIC region which does not allow for reverse delegation to be done by the RIR until assignments are made under the allocation. Since this is a new policy, there are no numbers available yet to determine if this will have any impact on registry accuracy. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
