DB consistancy checking tools

I won't be at RIPE-35 as my first child is due at the same time but I'll
definitely knock something together as a draft. If other people are
interested then things should go ahead at RIPE-35 otherwise I do have
permission from my wife to attend RIPE-36 ;-)

Kind regards

Matthew

  Matthew,

  I think this is an interesting proposal:

  To start things moving, could you come up with a coarse draft of ideas
  and short-term goals to take up?

  On the more formal side, one of the possible solutions to accomodate
  that activity might be to create a TaskForce to work on well-defined
  items during RIPE35 (do you intend to particpate?).
  This TF might be supported by both LIR and DB, or sponsored by whichever
  group is seen to be appropriate...
