Hi John,
I had the same question as yours. I did not get an answer, so what I did is the "So be
it" approach.
You will need an ASN (Autonomous System Number) and what you need to do is get it from
ARIN. Once you have it from Arin, you can register your Routing Object (Maintainet,
AS,
and so on) through ARIN and it doesn't cost a dime. I don't know what is the
difference
between having your object in an IRR and not having your object there, but I did it
anyway, I learned how it works...so be it!
