No. As I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I don't see why an RIR is
operating an IRR database. It seems to be something clearly in the realm
of service providers (ie people who are making use of allocated resources).

Can you shed some light on why this is the case? Was this requested by
the community, or driven internally? Or both?
