Hi WG
We are LIR and we have several active contracts with our customers for sponsoring PI.
Because I think PI End User must requests a resource certificate through their sponsoring LIR I think option 1 is good and our customers request will be compatible with this option.
1. Sign an agreement with their sponsoring LIR (a RIPE NCC member) to
have the resources certified by the RIPE NCC via the sponsoring LIR. In
this case, the sponsoring LIR would be responsible for periodically
verifying that the PI End User is the legitimate holder of the
resources. However, the RIPE NCC will in all cases be responsible for
issuing the resource certificate and providing access to the RPKI
management interface. Therefore, PI End Users should, at all times, be
able to change from one sponsoring LIR to another while still retaining
the same certificate for the resources that they hold.
