WG] well, if it wasn't clear from my previous message, you've gotten a yes, but it's a qualified yes, and the timeframe, as well as what I'm paying for, matters. We need to put some daylight between "how the market values RPKI" and "whether RPKI is ready for wide-scale deployment" and "what the market expects from ARIN as a service provider for a critical piece of that system when it's in wide-scale deployment". You can see multiple folks expressing concern about other aspects of RPKI beyond ARIN's RPA and liability. Those problems have to be solved before we can have a real discussion about how the market values RPKI, because prior to that it's simply not ready for wide-scale deployment. Additionally, we have a catch-22 in that most of RPKI's benefit is not realized until there are enough prefixes signed and enough large networks validating signatures and dropping invalid announcements, which means the incentive for early adopters is hard to quantify. In other words, the benefits of deploying RPKI that we have to use to justify the costs, whether it's increased ARIN fees or the hardware, complexity, and headcount costs associated with deploying and maintaining it, cannot be realized yet. So, the only thing I know to do is to make sure that I'm working these issues in parallel so that we don't remove one barrier to entry only to crash into the next one.
