I haven't yet seen this message on this mailing list and I believe is well in scope for this working group. There has been some discussion already in the NANOG list.

"De-Bogonising New Address Blocks" <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/draft-documents/deboganising-draft.html> Abstract "This document describes an improvement in the notification process about new blocks of address space being distributed by the RIRs. It is a draft at this stage and your comments are solicited.
