When the AFRINIC IRR was initially launched, we already did do some of that. But not enough resources holders saw enough of a motivation to make the effort. Hopefully this initiative will also help to motivate some number more. But it’s never going to be all.
In my opinion the route-objects should've been moved back in the day during the AfriTrans project when all the inet{,6}num's were moved by the RIRs. But alas, that didnt happen so now we need to deal with it.
I don't think it is wise to leave it up to thousands of resource holders to perform actions, maybe some of them don't even realise their objects are in the RIPE DB instead of AfriNIC.
I don't consider "let the resource holders do it" a viable solution to address the problem statement.
in the ripe address space, a lot of resource holders have not aggregated route: objects, though we have asked many times. the ncc should aggregate them. "let the resource holders do it" is clearly not a viable solution. the IRR is a service run FOR the resource holders, not AT the resource holders. randy
