John, There's nothing more dangerous to an effort than a bureaucrat's enthusiasm. Out in the real world, "Best efforts. AS IS," is more often than not the appropriate legal agreement. It's a contract that allows work to get done. >> It's not just the data for relying parties; they won't publish RPKI >> information for the legacy registrants without those registrants first >> entering contractual relationships unrelated to RPKI. > > As you are aware, we provide legacy resource holders the same registry > services (including ability to update Whois contact info, reverse DNS, etc.) > that they received at ARIN’s formation, and that is done no charge and with > no requirement for any agreement. Exactly. You refuse to provide new services related to legacy resource holdings, including RPKI. While not unreasonable in the context of ARIN operations, this is harmful to the RPKI efforts. This is something no organization prioritizing RPKI would do. Since offering new services like RPKI to legacy registrants* appears inimical to ARIN's core mission I respectfully question whether ARIN can be a satisfactory steward for RPKI. I've been watching this for a couple years now John. What you're doing with RPKI isn't working. Regards, Bill Herrin * without explicitly signing a registration services agreement contract with far broader implications for the resource than what is tied to the new service. -- William Herrin ................
