Friday Thanks
I've been busy over the last few days trying to clean up IRR information for our subnets and issue ROAs for our address space. Invariably I came across stale entries in various IRR databases. They aren't really hurting me, but I feel like there shouldn't be competing incorrect information out there that I'm not in control of. The database maintainers have been mixed in their response so far. This email isn't about name and shame though, I'm not at that point. Instead, I want to provide thanks to two organizations that have been very responsive and easy to deal with in getting records cleaned up.


RADb - Thank you.


Level3/CenturyLink/Lumen - Thank you.



Separately, I know there is some work to do with ARIN's recent RPKI/IRR changes, but as someone from a regional ISP, rather than a national or multi-national ISP, I can say that the tools are moving in the right direction. The experience right now is better than it was several years ago. Thank you ARIN for the improvements and the dedication to work with us on making further improvements.


Have a good weekend,

Graham
