This issue has been discussed on both the Database and Routing Working
Group mailing lists and at RIPE 67 in both Database and Routing
sessions.

Overall there was support for it on the Database Working Group list. On
the routing-wg@ mailinglist one comment was made, also in support of the
introduction of these attributes. 

The software is ready to be deployed, but the RIPE NCC needs someone to
say 'yes, go ahead' if there is consensus. Does anyone have a problem
with moving forward towards deployment? 

Bullet point pitch:
    
    - The change is backwards compatible with older RPSL parsers.
    - The new attributes are completely optional.
    - This change adds advanced functionality that will especially
      benefit route server operators and participants.

Kind regards,

Job
