The fundamental problem is there is no absolute "source of truth" in who is entitled to use which resource.
Well, the "absolute truth" would be the whois service maintained by the RIRs, regarding who is the contact for what resource. Now if we could only agree on one IRR for every region, require authorization by the RIR listed contact to gain the ability to create IRR entries for that resource, and make publication of a route into the IRR an actual requirement, we would have just that. However, it would be just as subject to government interference, in the form of orders to the IRR database maintainer to delete certain networks. -- -Mysid
