please explain the need for bureaucrazy to do what RPKI CAs have been
doing since dirt was invented.

Randy -

I’d tend to agree with you, but ARIN already once attempted to rollout such functionality –
alas, with overly ambitious scope that not only provided increased visibility after potentially
affected routes but functionality that also created default linkage to matching IRR objects –
and thus created a real potential for subtle operational impacts at the time of the rollout.

Rather than have a repeat of that fiasco, we’re now moving ahead with changes that have
any potential for causing routing changes in a more deliberate and consultative manner.

Thanks!
