Well, the "absolute truth" would be the whois service maintained by the
RIRs, regarding who is the contact for what resource.
Now if we could only agree on one IRR for every region, require
authorization by the RIR listed contact to gain the ability to create
IRR entries for that resource, and make publication of a route into the
IRR an actual requirement, we would have just that.
However, it would be just as subject to government interference, in the
form of orders to the IRR database maintainer to delete certain networks.
