Hi Wilfried,

I've asked the routing- and DB-WG chairs to send a "heads up" to their respective working groups, so that interested parties can participate in the discussion (if needed), and because it will also need an implementation change in the RIPE DB software.
I presume this will end up as a task for the RIPE NCC for our region.
But... Just as a reminder or marker - who or which group is expected to update the (relevant) tools these days? And, do we have an common understanding of the term "relevant" in this context? :-)
When I ran the project to introduce ASN32 at the RIPE NCC (back in 2006/7), we went through our documents for all instances of an AS number and changed it. We still have this list somewhere. And more general, this is on my desk to look at as soon as the discussion in the IETF converges.
