Thanks for the feedback, Russ.

So I'm hearing a proposal from Russ to strike that paragraph.  In that case the entire section 3.3.7 would read:

==============================================================================
3.3.7 Address Registries

The candidate operators address space SHOULD be accurately registered in
one of the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) public databases.  Additionally,
the candidate SHOULD have appropriate entries in relevant public routing
registries for their IPv4 and IPv6 address space.
==============================================================================


How does everyone feel about that?
