Dear colleagues, On Tuesday, 4 September, we will make changes to the way out-of-region objects are handled in the RIPE Database, as directed by the RIPE Database Working Group.
We will implement the following changes in this order between 09:00 and 15:00 UTC+2. 1. The RIPE Routing Registry will no longer support the creation of out-of-region ROUTE(6) and AUT-NUM objects 2. The creation of ROUTE(6) objects will no longer need authorisation from the ASN holder 3. Existing out-of-region objects will have their "source:" attribute changed to "RIPE-NONAUTHâ For users of NRTM, these changes will be reflected on the FTP website after 00:00 UTC+2 on Wednesday, 5 September. You can find our implementation plan at: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/impact-analysis-for-nwi-5-implementation <https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/impact-analysis-for-nwi-5-implementation> We also published an article on RIPE Labs with some background and additional context: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/out-of-region-route-6-and-aut-num-objects-in-the-ripe-database <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/out-of-region-route-6-and-aut-num-objects-in-the-ripe-database> We will inform the Database Working Group once all changes have been implemented. Kind regards Nathalie Trenaman Product Manager RIPE NCC
