Dear RIPE Routing WG Please forgive me if this is a topic that has been closed by the WG. I was advised by a mentor to write to you. I am AL7-AFRINIC the technical and general contact for AS Number 37199 and IPV4 LIR for • 41.76.128.0/21 • 197.155.0.0/19 When I search the RIPE database (all) my details come up correctly (pasted below). This morning we experienced downtime but we managed to recover within a few hours due to a last minute warning issued to our upstream provider Cybersmart (original message pasted below bottom). From what I can gather I can hypothesise that our previous upstream provider Frogfoot, had created a route object in your database without our knowledge or authority. Subsequently they relinquished control of this object to their new upstream (AfricaINX in the email below) without our knowledge or authority. And subsequently AfricaINX deleted this object from your database without our authority or knowledge. And finally our new upstream created a route object in your database without our knowledge or authority. Yeah I am sorry it's a bit naive of me. :( I live to learn, please advise if it's a dumb question to request a policy consideration that you send LIR organisation and contacts some kind of notifications to general and billing contacts, even if only as notification if not the ability to suspend such actions as a delete request.
