[db-wg] Source GRS vs RIPE

Hi Christoffer,
Thanks for the detailed response and it means if the source is not RIPE
then it shouldn’t be considered as authentic data because the resource
belongs to RIPE NCC.

As posted earlier the resource in question is 188.64.224.0/21 which doesn’t
result anything from default source i.e RIPE.
