Subj: Strange information in different routing regestries?
Well, "strange" ... ?
Some organisations decided to run Routing Registries in order to support their mission and/or their own operational environment.
In general, there is no mechanism to synchronise duplicate or multiple parallel entries when an update is made to _one_ of the registries.
Ther can't be duplicates. At least one attribute has to be different. And how would you what "false" or "right" is. Only syntax checking is done. Not even simplest form of semantic checkings like consistency of prefixes. You ay well add x.y.78.0/22.
There could be at least one mechanism to prevent creation of duplicate/wrong records in Routing Registries - to limit creation of entries only to limited set of inetnum/as-num ranges.
It is up to the user/maintainer of a certain block of addresses (or his or her up-stream ISP(s)) to (manually) keep those entries up-to-date or to get them removed - whatever is appropriate.
Sorry for may be so stupid question, but are there any documents which describe relations between Routing Registries, Regional Internet Registries and ICANN in the view of one distributed, non contradicted Routing Policies Database ?
AFAIK there are no documents. Regards, -- Arnold
