The better question is, how do you authenticate Ross' email, and how do you
authenticate the... not the contents, but the authenticity & accuracy of the
meaning of the email?
I suppose you don't have to - at some point they'll just turn it off and then
we'll all know the email was legit :-).
As to Ross' question: IIRC there exists, or existed at one time, a private(?)
mailing list for IRR operators. I would start with r...@merit.edu, if that
address still works. I can also reach out to the folks running the CANARIE IRR
to see if they know, if necessary.
