i understand fearing holding others' private keys and critical data.  no
blame there.


but out of curiousity, how reality based are arin's general liability
fears?  in the last few years, how many times has arin been a named
defendant in a law suit?  how many times a [principal] plaintiff?

Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Resource Certification Update

ARIN continues its preparations for offering production-grade resource 
certification
services for Internet number resources in the region.  ARIN recognizes the 
importance
of Internet number resource certification in the region as a key element of 
further
securing Internet routing, and plans to rollout Resource Public Key 
Infrastructure (RPKI)
at the end of the second quarter of 2011 with support for the Up/Down protocol 
for those
ISPs who wish to certify their subdelegations via their own RPKI infrastructure.

ARIN continues to evaluate offering a Hosting Resource Certification service 
for this
purpose (as an alternative to organizations having to run their own RPKI 
infrastructure),
but at this time it remains under active consideration and is not committed.   
We look
forward to discussing the need for this type of service and the organization 
implications
atour upcoming ARIN Members Meeting in April in San Juan, PR.

FYI,
/John
