My personal feeling is that the RIRs' databases are definitely the wrong place to maintain such (volatile) data (in many cases for subranges of registry entries!) and the RIRs are the wrong organisatins to get involved with such a "service".
While I would probably agree that the RIRs databases would be the wrong place to maintain the data, and that the RIRs probably shouldn't provide this service directly, I do think it's important that the RIRs try to establish some standards regarding notifications and updates. This seems to be a pretty common problem today, and most probably even more so in the future, as the usage of geo-location services for sure will increase, and the number of ISPs/organizations who will either have to renumber and/or receive additional IP blocks previously allocated to someone else, will increase. -- -o) Vegard Svanberg, CTO - Monsternett (www.monsternett.no) /\\ Violgata 3A, N-1776 HALDEN, NORWAY _\_v Phone: (+47) 69701802 | Fax: (+47) 69701801
