[ARIN-consult] COMMUNITY CONSULTATION ON IRR ROUTE VALIDATION

[Jay Borkenhagen]

Thank you, Jason, for stating these thoughts so well and so
succinctly.  I agree with you 100%.

To rephrase one of Jason's points just slightly for emphasis: in my
opinion it makes no sense for ARIN to offer an IRR that permits
publication of data disagreeing with ARIN's number resource
allocations.  I know that ARIN's IRR permits this today, but it should
not.

Thank you.
