Towards a Disjoint IRR

Dale,

I support your view that a disjoint IRR is the correct vision, since
it places the administrative burden closer to those who maintain the
routers, and thus are the consumers of their own data. For example,
CA*net has alot invested in keeping its own data accurate, since any
errors will be expressed directly into our routers. Also, I believe the
central "one registry to rule them all" model will not scale. 

As to the data cleanliness issue for conversion, canet.db has been
carefully sanitized. PRDB CA*net data has not been (and will not be)
carefully checked. I state authoritatively that canet.db is more
accurate than PRDB. I encourage you to purge all CA*net data from the
PRDB and use our database file instead. Please note that CA*net has
taken the time to construct AS690 advisory lines for your routing
enjoyment...
