For your information, APNIC Hostmasters have moved to a mode of operation where for inetnum owners where the AS holder is not the same person, and a request is lodged with helpdesk for assistance, the hostmasters manually override and create the object for the inetnum holder, only removing it if an AS holder objects. The inetnum holder needs to be recognised in our systems.
Its a hand-mediated inetnum-only route object. Previous practice was to wait for explicit approval from the AS holder. Now, its created first, and withdrawn if there is an objection.
There have been no complaints. APNIC HM are considering portal changes and other process work to automate this.
What is the benefit of the hand-mediation? Or is that just an artifact of the software implementation? Does APNIC send a notification to the AS holder that an object was created in which they were referenced? Kind regards, Job
