Jared - 

Interesting point – thank you for the very clear elaboration of this particular 
issue. 

Would it suffice if ARIN made clear in its RPKI information that software 
installation tools may download the ARIN TAL on behalf of a party so long as 
the parry agrees to statement displayed which reads “This software utilizes 
information from the ARIN Certificate Authority, and such usage is subject to 
the ARIN Relying Party Agreement.  Type ‘Agree’ to proceed” ?

Acknowledged; I believe that allowing something similar to enable software 
installation tools to download the ARIN TAL for a party should be relatively 
straightforward – I will research that asap.

Thanks!
