Ideally RIPE NCC employees participate in the IETF process to produce
NRTM v4. RIPE DB-WG members (and other industry stakeholders) are also
free to participate in such a process. The GROW working group is
probably the best fit given its history with RPSL.

The design for NRTM v4 should take place through the IETF process, as we
seek to create an inter-operable standard supported by multiple
implementations (some of which are not controlled by RIPE NCC).

It is my understanding that an agreed upon problem statement in the form
of a NWI from DB-WG will help RIPE NCC to allocate resources to help
design and implement NRTM v4.

Kind regards,
