Actually - as of this week I mailed it automatically to
nanog@merit.edu, eof-list@ripe.net, apops@apnic.net
However, for some reason I dont see the nanog message. not sure
why. This is partly a test to see if I see this one.

* The above is an excellent idea. Perhaps if you could mail the output to
* nanog and ripe-list the peer pressure would help and in some cases inform
* LIRS/ISPs what they may unknowingly be doing wrong.
* RIPE did this earlier inthe year for the European registries and it worked.
*
* Is there an APNIC equivelant ?
*
* It would also be a good idea IMHO if the Global registries (APNIC RIPE INTE
* RNIC)had email lists, alongthe lines of the ones RIPE runs, which it encour
* aged
* new 'customers' to join. This may be the nearest we get to a global
* isp email list.
