Re: [db-wg] A test on AFRINIC range announcing without RIPE route object

[denis walker via db-wg]

Hi All
The co-chairs of the DB-WG are talking in the background to the RIRs about how 
this change will impact the holders of their address space. We are following 
the points raised here and checking some issues with the appropriate RIRs. The 
RIPE NCC Database team is also in the loop of these talks so any relevant 
points can be included in their impact analysis.
As some have already said consensus is not unanimity and there is a consensus 
to close this security hole in the RIPE Database. Even though the security hole 
will continue to exist in many alternative and commercial IRRs and will 
continue to be exploited by abusers for some considerable time.
