We must think along other lines.

Maybe "central" was the wrong word to use. Think a DB that every
RIR provides a copy of and authenticates the bits that "belong"

to it. This would even be necessary to avoid compromise. One could pick the copy to use for filter generation or even

query them all and implement a majority decision if there are
discrepancies.
Of course it would require all RIRs to use the same RPSL format
but that appears more of a political than a technical problem.
