[lir-wg] AS Number Policy

It should be *very* easy for RIPE to produce a list
of AS numbers assigned and not in the routing tables
(of course only for the RIPE area)

This first list is just an estimate (see the discussion) but
should give us an indication what we are talking about....

best regards,
Wolfgang
