There is similar work also being done in the NETSEC SIG in FIRST.org.
Aftab may be aware of that and possibly this is where it seems from.
Started by Carlos Friacas (fccn.pt) there is a blog post in the works
that begins by raising questions about when and whether to accept a LoA
as the primary means of agreeing to announce a prefix.  The answer is
not so cut and dry.  If anyone wants to comment on the draft before it
gets published, which should be imminently, let me know and I'll put
you in touch with Carlos and a draft.
