i was wondering if there were some published docs online regarding the registration of route objects and membership at an ix - specifically, do ixp's around the world require that their members register all of their route objects prior to being allowed to exchange traffic at the ix?

DE-CIX (http://www.de-cix.net) does (see 4.4 http://www.de-cix.net/info/DE-CIX_technical_requirements.pdf). And afaik that's also true for LINX, AMS-IX, Xchangepoint, ... Look at their policies as well.
AMS-IX does not, nor does it require its members to peer with anybody (including the exchange-supporting network infrastructure). AMS-IX believes that the decision to peer is up to the individual members. -- Niels.
