Suggestion:
It would be a good idea to pick up on the ASnnn aliases used in the
days of the NSFnet. The suitable place to host these aliases would
be the registries, since they are the ones handing out ASNs and are
in the position of being able to enforce a pretty obvious
requirement: Anybody injecting routes into the Net -must- have
functioning trouble email addresses. (Some months ago, somebody
(apparently both global and international) were leaking some of our
routes. No normal alias worked and the problem didn't get resolved
until given-name@... came back after the weekend.)
To avoid wasted efforts, the registries should preferably coordinate
to mirror the aliases, so that everybody would be reachable as
ASnnn@any-registry.net
Thus, all of
AS286@ripe.net
AS286@internic.net
AS286@apnic.net
would reach the trouble(some) folks in EUnet.
This would place an extra burden on the registries, but ASN assignment
shouldn't be taken lightly anyway.
