The RIPE database specifications and RPSL define languages used as
the basis for representing information in a routing policy system.  A
repository for routing policy system information is known as a routing
registry.  A routing registry provides a means of exchanging informa-
tion needed to address many issues of importance to the operation of
the Internet.  The implementation and deployment of a routing policy
system must maintain some degree of integrity to be of any use.  The
Routing Policy System Security RFC [3] addresses the need to assure
integrity of the data by proposing an authentication and authoriza-
tion model.  This document addresses the need to distribute data over
multiple repositories and delegate authority for data subsets to other
repositories without compromising the authorization model established
in Routing Policy System Security RFC.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
