Routing Assets Database, or RADB is run by Merit Network Inc.

It is a lookup database designed to make finding fundamental information about networks available. RADB can be accessed by going to http://www.radb.net.

RADB can also be defined as Routing Arbiter Data Base

Merit's Routing Assets Database is more accurately listed as RADb

Merit developed the Routing Assets Database (RADb) in the early 1990's as part of the NSF-funded Routing Arbiter Project. The RADb is a public registry of routing information for networks in the Internet.

PNWGP uses the RADB, so the IRR that your organization selects must be the RADB, or an IRR that the RADB project is mirroring. http://www.pnw-gigapop.net/tech/irr.html

In the past, the Pacific Northwest Gigapop did not require that its clients use an Internet Routing Registry database (IRR) to advise us of the networks that the client intended to advertise via BGP to AS101.

It has always been advised that PNWGP clients register their routes in an IRR, such as the RADB ( http://www.radb.net/ ) to ensure that their routes were honored by all of the PNWGP upstream providers. The PNWGP receives transit from a number of upstream providers, and typically 50% of the AS101 transit providers did not require that an IRR be used to inform them of the routes that the PNWGP would be announcing. http://www.pnw-gigapop.net/tech/irr.html

The Pacific Northwest Gigapop has been using the RADB as our Internet Routing Registry for some time, and we are happy with the service that Merit is providing. Please note that the RADB is not your only option, as there are many other publicly queriable IRR servers available. However, since the PNWGP will be referencing the data that our clients register in their IRR, this data must be available on the RADB server. The RADB project mirrors many of the other main IRR servers, and has a list of those that are mirrored located at http://www.radb.net/mirrorlist.html When selecting an IRR to use, you MUST make sure that the RADB mirrors the IRR that you select, or your data will not be usable. http://www.pnw-gigapop.net/tech/irr.html

On a purely operational note, and ignoring (having not read) the other aspects of this thread:

It seems to me that denying my participation in the RADB may be a violation of IETF/ISOC/ICANN rules.

Merit operates the RADB, which is one of many loosely-associated public databases known as the Internet Routing Registry (IRR), each modelled (sometimes slightly loosely, with respect to local extensions) on RFC2622, "Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL)". The RADB is a for-fee service run by Merit of their own volition.

An example list of alternative, independently-operated databases within this vague "IRR" umbrella can be found by looking through the mirrored databases at:

 ftp://ftp.merit.edu/radb/dbase/

Each of those comes from a different database. All the databases are, in general, run independently.

There is nothing magical and special about the RADB in the context of the operation of the IRR, and if Merit does not want you as a customer there are plenty of other suppliers you can talk to. Perhaps start here: <http://www.altdb.net/>.
