WILL YOU BE AUTHORIZED TO UPDATE THE RADB AFTER MAY 8?
Under the old NACR/PRDB system, each AS maintained a list of "valid
requestors" who could make routing changes for that AS. Under the new
Route object/RADB system, each network has an Origin AS ("Home AS"); the
individuals who can make routing changes for that AS's networks are
listed in the Maintainer object for that AS. Initial versions of
Maintainer objects were created from the PRDB "valid requestor"
information on February 1, and many more Maintainer objects have been
added to the RADB since then. Thus it is very likely that your
authorization in the RADB has already been established. If you have
successfully submitted a NACR since February 1, then you are already
authorized to submit Route objects for that AS.
The RADB has my entry as follows:
mntner: MAINT-AS378
descr: ILAN
admin-c: Hank Nussbacher
tech-c: Hank Nussbacher
upd-to: hank@vm.tau.ac.il
auth: MAIL-FROM HANK@taunivm.tau.ac.il
mnt-by: MAINT-AS378
changed: DB-admin@ra.net 940302

The RIPE DB has my entry as follows:
mntner: AS378-MNT
descr: ILAN
upd-to: hank@vm.tau.ac.il
mnt-nfy: hank@vm.tau.ac.il
auth: CRYPT-PW somecryptstring
mnt-by: AS378-MNT

tech-c: Hank Nussbacher
changed: hank@vm.tau.ac.il 941122

I would assume that everyone in Europe has updated their mntner
object and customized as they please. Now we have to do it again?
Couldn't the RADB just copy all the mntner objects as listed in RIPE?
