One could easily presume the ARIN region RPKI deployment statistics are 
lower as a result of the RPA situation (and no doubt that it part of the 
issue), but as noted earlier, it's unlikely to be the full story since 
we also have a region (APNIC) where RPKI deployment also rather low that 
and yet does not have these RPA legal entanglements. 

It was suggested earlier that this may be due to a combination of factors  
(education, promotion) beyond the RPA legal issues that are now being 
worked - so that will also need to be addressed once the RPA is resolved.
