There is an alternative database that is free to use at http://altdb.net/
<http://altdb.net/>. You essentially just send objects that you want to add or
modify to auto-dbm(a)altdb.net <mailto:auto-dbm@altdb.net>. You will have to send off
a maintainer first which must be approved by the database admin. If you don’t already have
a person object in another database which I suspect you do not, then you will have to
create one at the same time. Here is an example maintainer based off of mine:
mntner: MAINT-NAME
descr: Name's Maintainer
admin-c: NAME-ALTDB
tech-c: NAME-ALTDB
upd-to: email-address(a)example.com
mnt-nfy: email-address(a)example.com
auth: MAIL-FROM email-address(a)example.com
mnt-by: MAINT-NAME
changed: email-address(a)example.com 20190618
source: ALTDB
A person looks something like this:
person: Name
address: 1010 Some Road
address: City, State Zip Code
address: Country
phone: Phone number including country code
fax-no: Phone number including country code
e-mail: email-address(a)example.com
nic-hdl: NAME-ALTDB
notify: email-address(a)example.com
mnt-by: MAINT-NAME
changed: email-address(a)example.com 20190618
source: ALTDB
There is a good article with more information here:

Hello 44Net friends --
I'm operating a BGP-announced subnet of 44/8 for some paging and SDR
experiments, and with some new access to other facilities, I'm looking into
adding some geographic redundancy for my network, setting up an ASN, and
beginning some public peering.
However, what I am coming to discover is that Brian's LOA only gets me so
far... :)
Many networks in Europe are doing proper per-peer prefix filtering,
constructed from IRR data in various registries.
I would like to get my 44/8 prefix listed in one of these registries with
my ASN listed, so that I can get all this automatic filtering working.
Generally, most networks seem to be using the RIR-provided IRR registry for
this data, which for us in the US and with AMPR would be ARIN.
There are also some commercial IRR databases. https://www.radb.net/ seems
to be the most-widely mirrored, but it costs ~$500/year to use.
As this is just a hobby project for me, it's difficult to justify the costs
of a commercial registry.
Might it be possible for AMPRNet users to use ARDC's ARIN accounts to list
some "inetnum" IRR data for our prefixes?
Depending on the outcome, maybe this would be some useful information to
list on the FAQ in the Wiki.
Thanks,
jof
