The working group agreed upon the minutes of the previous meeting, and accepted the draft agenda earlier circulated on the mailing list.
Review of actions RIPE 27
There have been 2 BOF sessions up to now, and it will become an IETF working group soon. Major objective of the group is how registries can exchange data from their databases.
This is already a working group with considerable work being done. Major objective is a formalized and extensible description of routing policies on the Internet.
Cross notification got approval to be implemented at the last RIPE meeting. Implementation has actually started but has not yet finished due to restricted manpower. Chris Fletcher has been working on it and cross notification will be available on the RIPE Test DB in October.
Joachim Schmitz again summarized several questions on aut-num authorization. Some of those had already been decided in a previous wg session but the discussion led to final consensus in all points. The results summarized are
The current state is that anybody may add route objects for any origin, except for control by aut-num authorization. A second hierarchy may be applied as well, based on IP prefixes like it exists for inetnum objects. This would mean that route objects of different origins for given IP address ranges could only be handled if properly authorized.
However, authorization only makes sense if it is enforced. As a consequence, additional restrictions are imposed. The question now is whether these can be accepted.
Cons:
Other tools exist which partly have the functionality of PAIR. However, PAIR is more and comprises various functions in one shell providing a simple and uniform interface.
Some of the functions include
