I can't see anything "above" which explains why the creation purpose should be complicated. It's complicated if you want to use TI. When I wanted to create an IRT object I just asked RIPE to authorize it, and it was done quickly and with no pain. Currently I see no reason to use TI.
TI is an organisation that verifies the information, so that it can be *trusted*. For ordinary users it may be to hard to understand this and how to make sure it all correct. For IRT among eachother it may be important.
BTW, what about returning the IRT record by default for inetnum queries? This would let more people know about it and if decorated with big ASCII art could partially solve the problem of lusers writing to every email address they find in the answer.
Well, *that* is a good idea! Regards, Menno Pieters -- Menno Pieters - Stelvio Postbus 215, 3740 AE Baarn phone: +31-35-5.429.324 / fax: +31-35-5.429.327 XOIP: +31-84-8.720.349 / Web: http://www.stelvio.nl/
