[db-wg] NWI-3 - AFRINIC IRR Homing

Dear Working Group,

(You can review https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2016-April/005190.html 
to ensure you have an overview of the next steps.)

NWI-3 - Afrinic IRR Homing
--------

    In recent years Afrinic set up an IRR instance that enforces
    authorisation for ROUTE(6) objects at rr.afrinic.net

    And while the general problem of out-of-region ROUTE(6) and AUT-NUM
    objects in the RIPE Database IRR, and the problem where the prefix
    and the ASN belong to different regions is not trivial to resolve,
    there seems to be a general consensus that simple cases where
    ROUTE(6) objects have both an ASN and prefix in Afrinic (~34k
    objects), should appear in the Afrinic IRR where authorisation can
    be done and not in the RIPE DB.

    Complicated cases where the prefix is in Afrinic, but the ASN is
    another region -or- where the ASN in Afrinic, but the prefix is out
    of region are out of scope for this NWI.

Some of you might wonder why this topic is back on the table. The chairs
felt that it would be most appropiate to follow our new NWI formal
process to help progress this work.

Working group participants, if you agree/disagree with the above problem
statement please voice your opinion. If you have suggestions to refine
the text that is welcome too. 

Kind regards,
