Which blocks did you report?
I don’t really want to go into specific details on an open mailing list. Suffice to say
that keeping an eye on these and responding to problems keeps me busy enough!
Why not? what is to hide? hijack discussions happen on other mailing
lists in the public.
So no more comment from yourself as the BGP co-ordinator on the
prefixes in the report?

If you really do have the details on all these prefixes, there should
be no reason you can't provide a statement on each, if it is an
expected announcement, misconfiguration or hijackk
Without you being slightly more forthcoming in public, in my eyes it
puts the whole integrity of co-ordinating AMPRnet BGP announcements in
doubt.
Any
explanation for these prefixes announced in the UK by AS61337,
along side your portal prefixes, they are not documented at all in the
portal:
Not all allocations appear in the public listing on the portal, for various reasons. Try
the Whois server if you want by check specific prefixes.
Where is this publicly documented?
RADB is ok,
but not sufficient for the future. A better investment
would be for the ARDC to negotiation with one of the 5 RIRs for
prefixes to be registered there, so we could all benefit from use of
their RPKI trust anchors.
I can’t see that happening anytime soon I’m afraid, if ever, unless they drastically
change their terms. We won’t do anything that risks losing our legacy status.
Have the ARDC approached each RIR and discussed this?
Having
prefixes in RADB will not provide
trust anchor functionality.
Agreed, and RPKI is something we understand is desirable, there are several ways it could
be achieved and will be the focus for the TAC at some point in the future.

The development is taking place currently and will be open sourced when it’s ready. In
the meantime, if you want to have input on any features you would like to see, feel free
to contact Rosy and/or myself.
I'd like to see planning for this taking place in the open, not closed.
I noticed the
github.com AMPRnet Portal repo has been removed.
There was no point in it being there, we tried that route a couple of years ago and
didn’t get anywhere.
