Another idea is for people to register their own route objects, and maintain their own aut-num object in the Citylink route registry. Or the APNIC registry, or the RADB, or somewhere.
I'm not particularly convinced that making ad-hoc announcements to this list is really the best way of doing things. Sending mail directly to the contact at a peer and following up if you don't get a reply is surely a better plan (plus, you get to find out when the contact for a peer changes).
How many people religiously follow up on every single route filter update message sent to this list? I bet the answer is not "everybody".
Joe's absolutely right of course. I'm keen for people to use the route registry(s) and when I get back from leave in August I'll chase that with you all. andy
