Over here in "RIPE land" so to speak, several ISP's (most notably
FIRST members) have put a lot of effort in getting 'IRT' objects in
the RipeDB.
$ whois -h whois.ripe.net -r 194.171.31.0 | egrep '^(inetnum|remarks|mnt-irt):'
inetnum: 194.171.31.0 - 194.171.31.255
remarks: utilized by 802.1x authenticated guests utilizing EduRoam
remarks: see http://www.eduroam.nl/ for more information
remarks: in case of abuse: abuse@cwi.nl and cert@surfnet.nl
mnt-irt: irt-SURFnet-CERT
That IRT object (I believe there were efforts underway for a similar
system in the ARINdb, but I haven't followed it for over a year :( )
is an object to identify the "Incident Response Team" which can be
contacted regarding certain blocks of space.
$ whois -h whois.ripe.net -r irt-SURFnet-CERT | egrep '^(irt|signature|encryption|remarks|mnt-by):'
irt: irt-SURFNET-CERT
signature: PGPKEY-A6D57ECE
encryption: PGPKEY-A6D57ECE
remarks: SURFNET-CERT is the Computer Emergency
remarks: Response Team of SURFnet
remarks: This is a TI accredited CSIRT
remarks: (see http://www.ti.terena.nl/teams/level2.html)

Replace spam with abuse and you have something like the IRT object. ;D
No doubt someone on NANOG knows what's happening with the ARIN version ;)
(or if there will be one, if people want it, etc.)
