Just another thought on these rogue ROUTE objects. If a ROUTE object has 
been created maliciously for out of region address space and the 
authoritative address space holder asks the RIPE NCC to delete the ROUTE 
object, is there any policy or defined procedure existing now that gives 
the RIPE NCC the authority to delete it immediately?

Or is this one of those 'case by case' situations where there needs to 
be proof of wrong doing before the RIPE NCC can delete it?

Perhaps the RIPE NCC can explain how these situations are currently handled?
