As I have said multiple times, getting this standardised isn't the sticking point for me. This is: > - As I said in my email to Markus, if we pretend I got a new draft into GROW > and eventually published, "then what?". How does one get that implemented in > the RIR DBs (RIPE to start with)? I think, that you think, I'm against documenting and standardising this. I am not. The big questions for me is, what happens after going to the IETF? It's a waste of time getting an RFC published if all I can do is print it off and make paper aeroplanes with it. So the question is, what comes after that? Just because there is an RFC, would RIPE implement? What is required for them to implement it? Do they need any additional documentation or testing? Does the RIPE RIPE DB docs website need updating too? Would I have to request that? There is no point talking about getting this standardised, if RIPE wouldn't implement it, and I can't find any information on what is required in order for RIPE to implement this.

Did I? My point - and I'll stick with it until I'm taught better: Improvements (often) do not justify breaking existing rules. Or in this particular case: Adding members-exclude to as-set without defining it somewhere "officially" (syntax and semantic) BEFORE, seems to me NOT the right way.
