DISA to run a private 181 Registry

FYI:  DISA is setting up to run a RIPE-181 Registry!

Steve seems to say that they will have no data to share;  I'll suggest to
him that routes that go to the global Internet need to be registered 
somewhere, or they will have limited connectivity.

Should we invite Steve onto rr-impl?

PS:  Is anyone besides AS690 planning to implement a rule of:  If you
aren't registered in the IRR, you won't be routed?
