I would love to understand what is going on inside IDNIC, The IRR (outside of the APNIC hosted endpoints) hasn't worked for nearly a entire year: and their RPKI repo has AAAA records, but the v6 addresses don't work. this may seem harmless because things will eventually fall back to the A/IPv4 record, but that doesn't actually happen in NAT64 environments... I tried emailing them about this and have never got a response (even trying to go via APNIC to see if they had any better contacts). For a NIC for a country with a population that is reasonably comparable to the United States this is an impressive level of abandonment to infrastructure.

@benjojo I have a sneaky feeling you'll need to go to Jakarta, have meetings with them, it will work for 2-3 weeks then it will fail for another year. rinse lather repeat.
