One of the questions that was asked: Why do we need to validate the
existing tables?
Is the 44 net so congested that having invalid entries in the table a
functional issue?
Are there ways to trim the table? A solution that filters for what are
believed to be unused addresses (based upon utilisation for the last year
or so) might be a good start - the number of false positives should be
small enough for the fallout to be handled with a very small overhead on
the coordinators.
As to the international situation - there are a small number of countries
that have significant allocations that will need to oversee their own
country's IP ranges - but it's important for the largest 'polluter' (the
US) to clean up whatever can be recovered.
Is this just a US problem, or are there other ranges where cleanup of the
44.x space is needed?

It's more about housekeeping and cruft that has built up over the decades
rather than performance. Once you open the floodgates of everyone managing
their DNS records, the task becomes magnitudes more difficult as everything
is then changing. The problem is not isolated to just the US but globally.
As for figuring out what is unused or not, there isn't any good way of
determining that.
