2.2. re-open the discussion about resource certification at half-cock, which will lead to a re-run of the same arguments put forward for 2008-08. The intention of the policy change here is to fix a policy bug, and it would be a shame to have it ending up as an unnecessary re-hash of 2008-08.
Damn. I never looked at it from that angle. Nick is right, this creates RPKI policy by the back-door.
I'm not so sure it does, the word "may" doesn't obligate the NCC to do anything.
While I tend to agree that it doesn't actually create RPKI policy, the fact that it would be mentioning certificates or signing at all does create an impression that it is creating RPKI policy.
The easiest and simplest thing would be to drop the sentence completely, at which point the de-facto RIPE NCC procedures concerning certification will apply. If this seems like a sensible and pragmatic approach to others, I can oblige from the policy proposal point of view. Or someone else can, if they want.
In light of the above, this is eminently the most sensible solution.
Probably.
Given the lack of actual RPKI policy, it seems sensible to not create any confusion or give the impression that there is backdoor RPKI policy being created and just remove the sentence completely. -- ================================================ David Farmer Email: farmer@umn.edu Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 1-612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 1-612-812-9952 ================================================
