Hello,

We would like share our draft "Registry scoped members for RPSL set objects" 
with the working group: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-romijn-grow-rpsl-registry-scoped-members/

This draft addresses the ambiguity of references between sets in RPSL, where 
currently one set includes another by its RPSL primary key. As the same primary 
key may exist in multiple IRR registries, these references are ambiguous, while 
the referred objects sometimes have very different contents.

The draft adds a new attribute where references to other sets must be scoped to 
a specific IRR registry. Specific resolving and validation rules ensure that we 
keep backwards compatibility with older RPSL objects, authoritative servers, 
and resolvers. At the same time, it provides benefits even with partial 
deployment.

We welcome your feedback and discussion.

Sasha and James
