All,
The discussion in SIDR addressed a different, more limited problem. The question was what if an ISP receives two, adjacent allocations from the SAME source at different times, and the source refuses to issue one cert for both allocations, because they have different validity periods. That was the motivation cited by Geoff Houston in the meeting.
I'm not sure if this would ever happen in practice. Our current thinking is that certs will be valid for the period for which LIRs have paid their membership dues (plus some grace period after that). So, if two allocations are made on different dates, the end date for the cert will always be the same and there is no reason why one would refuse handing out a cert for the aggregate.
