AW: [db-wg] Call for agenda items, DB-WG Meeting during RIPE53, Amsterdam

Hello,

we want you again to discuss the problem with the route-objects which
need approval from the first owner of a route-object rather than
from the owner of the inet object itself. 

As you didnt repsond to personal emails concerning this topic we want
you to address this again. There are many good reasons, that a owner
of the ip block should have the possibility to remove unwanted route
objects or at least grant new routes objects to be added to the ripe 
database.

I see NO reason why a a maintainer of the first route object should 
have more power than the real owner of the ip space.

The might be situations where you need 2 route objects (changing
upstream). If the owner of the first route object doensnt respond or
is unwilling to help the ip-owner and/or the new isp you are lost.

We dont think that sending a fax to ripe will be a good solution for
this design error in the ripe database.
