Hi Aftab It is quite a complex process to automate the removal of these references and old references may come back later looking like new policy but is still old policy, if the user did not handle the removal themselves. We will put some scenarios to you tomorrow and ask some questions, but we don't have many answers yet.

Hi Denis, Just for my understanding. For such clean-ups is there any need to have a policy to remove certain object references or this comes under RIR housekeeping can be done once problem has been identified by the community consensus.

Hi all
In the DB WG session this afternoon we only touch on the fact that this project is ongoing. I go into more details on the problems we have with this project with my short presentation in the Routing WG tomorrow.

Folks,
For any RPSL lovers among you that weren't at the Address Policy WG meeting this morning, the topic of cleaning up referenced AS numbers came up again. There are about ~2,000 16 bits ASNs that have been returned, but are still referenced in the import/export lines of other aut-num objects, either directly or via as-sets.
There will be more discussion of this in the Database WG this afternoon, but I thought I'd mention it here as it has implications for those on this list that use RPSL.
Cheers, Rob
