"..for some blocks I've taken over admin for."
Make sure you are visibly listed as a Point of Contact on those records i=
n the appropriate RIR, so that folks who get your request can verify you. =
Even better, register in your RIR's RPKI program and generate a ROA for it.=
Info about ARIN's here: https://www.arin.net/resources/rpki/index.html
Then yes, notify their upstreams/peers if needed and post here if things g=
et really desperate - have your records in order first. =20

Subject: "authority" to route?
Hi,
Is there a common practice of providers to vet / validate requests to adver=
tise blocks?
Who is the "authority" when it comes to determining if a request for routin=
g is valid?
Is it the WHOIS data maintained by the various RIR?
It seems I'm playing whack-a-mole to get some routes shut down for some blo=
cks I've taken over admin for.
If I email the contacts for the AS in WHOIS, and get no response, or a nega=
tive response, should I start going to their peers?
Some practical advice would be appreciated.
