This could be attributed to a shortcoming in the peeringdb data model:
it would be nice to be able to designate different peering contacts for
different places. I'm sure there are other ASNs as well, that have
regional peering coordinators. I think Google is one such example?

The challenge of course is to find a way to accommodate different
granularities of regions (per IXP, per Continent, per Country, ...) and
I don't think it makes sense to try to fix peeringdb to support this.

Perhaps we should instead consider submitting this mailing list as the
contact for as112.peeringdb.com?
