I've taken it upon myself to create proxy registrations for all of these prefixes in ALTDB.
Please don't.
Too late, all 394 routes mentioned above are now in ALTDB.
You're not doing the routing security ecosystem any favours by doing this. Couple of reasons why: 1. this isn't your data and this is an unexpected action on the part of the registrants, 2. this is a sure-fire way of accumulating even more cruft in ALTDB in a way which is troublesome to clean up afterwards, 3. there are several thousand objects in there which are already marked as proxy registrations, and are already likely to be inaccurate, 4. you're losing authentication information for people to self-manage their registrations, and 5. you have likely not cross-checked this data against RIR transfers / de-registrations - it's not really possible to do with with the arin-nonauth db because that db doesn't include the last-modified timestamp, and the changed: attribute is unreliable.
Can't express it any better than this :(
