Complete waste of time and energy. No wonder why the hostmaster queue is
so long these days ... ;->

Nope ... the policy evaulation must be kept as simple as possible:
statement from both the customer itself, as well as at least 2 peers
stated in the aut-num that there is a valid peering relationship in
place must be enough to verify the policy.

The customer must be asked first to update the aut-num.

That same process is used when a new AS is assigned, so why invent
something else for AS number usage evaluation?

Of course, the problem of contacting the right party still exists.
