+1
(and if the +1 is not clear: It means I agree and I have nothing to add. If I am pressed to add a comment, to explain my +1 I would venture to say that I agree with what was said because I know there are very few people actively tracking BGP jacking. I also know that some of those that do track it have spoken out so I agree completely that identifying experts and testimony of actual cases will not be one of the top issues faced by the registry. I hope that my +1 will therefore be accepted as a simple +1 as I have nothing more to add than simply repeating what has been said and stating my agreement thereof. If my +1 is not acceptable or does not count as much, because I have not fully explained my agreement to what was said I would appreciate that being pointed out to myself) On Wed, 03 Apr 2019 19:57:35 +0530 Suresh Ramasubramanian <ops.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > There are very few people who actively track BGP hijacks, the world > over - even among the larger community of network security folks. > > More than one of those individuals is on this mailing list and has > spoken up during the discussion. > > Identifying experts to detect and attest to cases of hijacking will > be the least of RIPE NCC's problems. > > On 03/04/19, 7:50 PM, "anti-abuse-wg on behalf of Pavel Vraštiak" > <anti-abuse-wg-boun...@ripe.net on behalf of vrast...@itself.cz> > wrote: > > I, for instance, subscribed to this list to express my support > for the proposal.
