[db-wg] Certain sponsored? ASNs without sponsoring-org

Just an update: Laurens Hoogendoorn from the NCC contacted me and did 
indeed confirm that ASNs without LEGACY status with an ORG that is OTHER 
are indeed unsponsored, and that you can look at stat.ripe.net 
historical whois to find out for how long.

I do still think that it should be more obvious than this.

Kind regards,
Cynthia Revström
