- Given that we use the Merit RADB, who would handle disputes in entries in that database, if we used our own who would set policy there and resolve disputes ?
I believe (although I need to check) that the RPSL spec allows for
supernets to be maintained by a specific maintainer object, and that
sub-delegations can inherit the protection that the supernet object enjoys
in terms of unauthorised updates (by password, PGP signed request, etc).
I think. I haven't checked though.
If this is the case, then the policy and protection against unauthorised
updates would be more or less automatic using the existing merit rr.
