[db-wg] Displaying RegID for all resources

After the feedback from the DB-WG Meeting in Vienna last week, I'd like to bring this back to the list.

I'd like to see the RegID (or equivalent) displayed for all resources in the database, this will help us identify the
holder of:

  *   PA Allocations (currently found in alloclist, currently attached Org-ID)
  *   PA Assignments (only found through less specific aggregate inetnum and as per above)
  *   PI Assignments (not found at all)
  *   Autonomous systems (not found at all?)

The privacy issues concerning publishing are currently being investigated by the NCC and a number of people have expressed concern about revealing commercial relationships,
especially with regards to revealing the sponsoring LIR for a particular end-user resource (though, I did make the point that you can ask the NCC a direct question about who the
sponsoring LIR is and lack of policy means they reveal this).

The technical issue concerning publishing , is that using the RegID may not be the best idea, the NCC say "It is for internal use" (but it is the only thing I see in my LIR portal?), why not use the
OrgID (but this doesn't relate to the RegID , how do I link this to a bone fide LIR?) , one issue with using the regID over the orgID may be that the regID would simply be represented in the
database as a string , since there is no related object to tie it to (which may be an undesirable outcome).

Dave.
