Proposal details
____________________
1. Establish a well-defined service for de-bogonizing new IANA
allocations.
This service should be implemented across all RIR regions, and it
would be better for all RIRs to use the same framework and website
for the service.
2. Establish greater collaboration between RIRs and ISPs to
improve reachibility of new IANA blocks.
Details of implementation will be left up to the RIRs, but could
include establishing a site for ISPs to confirm reachability
e.g. Enable automatic notification of the icmp/traceroute
(tcptraceroute) from RIRs to ISP's site by registering ISP's own
icmp/traceroute(tcptraceroute) testing servers to RIRs.
3. Provide a standard for IPv6 prefix lengths and prefix locations to
be used by all RIRs for de-bogonizing prefix announcements.
Details of the standard's implementation to be left up to the RIRs.
