[db-wg] Implementation plan and dates for NWI5 - Out-of-region ROUTE(6) objects and removal of ASN authorisation for ROUTE(6) object creation.

Dear Colleagues,

thank you all for your feedback. We will implement the following for NWI-5, and also deploy to production on 4th September:

- Separate NRTM streams by source. 

Updates to out of region objects (route, route6, aut-num) will appear on the RIPE-NONAUTH stream only. In order to be notified of all changes, NRTM clients will need to query both streams. After NWI-5 is deployed to production in September, the updates to change the source on out of region objects will appear on the RIPE-NONAUTH stream. 

- Move out of region objects into a separate database dump file, and split files. 

We will deploy these changes separately to the Release Candidate environment, and will notify the current NRTM users individually.

Regards
Ed Shryane
RIPE NCC
