Creating a policy seems to me to be too heavy an approach in this case.
I would think that a simple request from the DB WG to the NCC should be enough.
If a greater degree of formality were considered necessary, a new NWI could be created.
there are two issues here: the immediate one relates to removal of these particular objects, but there's a longer term issue of whether the NCC needs to be asked by the community to delete all objects which are deregistered from the other LIRs on an ongoing basis. Honestly I would have thought probably not because this sounds like the sort of thing that falls into general garbage cleanup, i.e. normal stewardship of resources. Could someone from the NCC clarify what the current situation with this is? Is this something which is currently dealt with, and if not, could it be? The reverse is also relevant. I.e. the RIPE NCC probably needs to publish lists of resources which have been deregistered so that other RIRs / IRRDBs can delete objects which refer to those resources which date from before the date of deregistration.
