Registry Working Group

[Bill Owens <>]

Can someone who is better at poking around websites tell whether this is 
relatively new content? I don't remember finding the page before, and I have 
definitely searched:

There are at least two interesting items therein...

Their list of IRRs that is much larger than they've previously posted:
ALTDB, APNIC, ARIN, BBOI, BELL Canada, CANARIE, EASYNET, HOST, JPIRR, Level4, 
NESTEGG, NTT, OPENFACE, OTTIX, PANIX, REACH, RADB, RGNET, RIPE, RISQ, ROGERS, 
TC

I've never heard of most of those! Also, Level4?!

And more ominously, they seem to want every network to have both route/route6 
and aut-num objects, including import and export elements. We've been 
avoiding aut-num, not difficult to create them but describing the policies is 
potentially dangerous. I'm wondering if we can just do the wide-open config 
and satisfy them:

import:         from AS-ANY accept ANY
export:         to AS-ANY announce ASnnnn

At one point their examples seem to imply that, though they don’t provide the 
exact wording that I would like. I guess time will tell.

Bill.
