Colleagues There is some support for the idea that if AUT-NUM objects in RIPE-NONAUTH authorise the creation of AS-SET objects, these set objects will also be in RIPE-NONAUTH. There is also support for this to be considered as a bug from the implementation of 'NWI-5 Out of region ROUTE(6)/AUT-NUM objects'. So existing AS-SET objects whose creation was authorised by one of these RIPE-NONAUTH ASNs can be moved to RIPE-NONAUTH as part of a bug fix.
Does anyone have any objections to such a 'bug fix'? cheers denis co-chair DB-WG On Thu, 1 Dec 2022 at 19:34, Nick Hilliard <n...@foobar.org> wrote: > > Cynthia Revström wrote on 30/11/2022 22:59: > > I am not sure if this feature is used or not however I think this is a > > very good reason to not go forward with a clean-up (at least until we > > have properly evaluated things). > > We will probably have to figure out some other way to deal with > > objects that are currently causing issues I think. > > the "feature" is used, yes.
