[routing-wg] DB WG NWI-5 proposal and new routing WG co-chair

    Dear colleagues,

a couple of news from RIPE-75: you might find useful to know about
them before the WG minutes are published.

1)
Please find enclosed the NWI-5 proposal of the DB working group,
which might be of interest for those who use the RIPE DB as input to
build BGP filters.
The proposal was discussed in the DB working group mailing list and at
the RIPE-75 meeting. The DB WG co-chairs have declared it reached
consensus and the implementation is progressing.

2)
Joao Damas decided to step down as routing WG co-chair; your new
co-chair is Ignas Bagdonas.

On behalf of the WG, I wish to thank Joao for his many, many years
in support of our activities and I welcome Ignas as new co-chair.
As always, you can reach us at <routing-wg-chairs at ripe.net>.

    Regards,

Paolo Moroni
Routing WG co-chair

Subject: [db-wg] NWI-5 Out of region ROUTE(6)/AUT-NUM objects implementation request

DB-WG Members,
Support was shown for the proposal NWI-5 and no objections were raised 
after this round of discussion. At this time, the chairs request that the 
RIPE NCC schedule implementation of NWI-5 as described.
This request is to remove origin: and flag route objects as specified. 
The db-wg therefore ask the RIPE NCC to prepare an impact analysis, 
followed by an implementation plan and timeline for this request and the 
other issues raised in the problem solution of NWI-5 as follows:

1) Remove the "origin:" authorization requirement.

2) Flag "route:" objects for non-RIPE-managed space with "source:
    RIPE-NONAUTH" to identify non-authoritative data.

Thank you all for your work on this proposal!
Kind regards,
William & Denis
DB-WG co-chairs
