I have read the -03 version of bgpsec profiles. I think the current version of the document is solid. But I don't think the protocol spec is quite stable enough to say "we aren't going to be making any changes to the bgpsec protocol that will require a change to the profiles document" ... but I hope the protocol spec will soon (several months) be that stable.

While I think the document may be pretty solid currently, the meta-issue of the tail wagging the dog exists.

I.e. There still exists the potential for additional requirements to surface, related to the design and implementation of the bgpsec protocol, which have the potential to "inform" additional requirements for the EE certs, and/or other (new) cert types.

So, even if it passes WGLC intact, I'm of the opinion that it should be kept in the "hold" buffer, until the other work goes through more substantial development and review cycles.

    Helo WG peoples,
    The following update posted today. Sean and Tom have come to agreement
    on their differences, I believe this closes the last open items on
    this document.

    Let's start a WGLC for this, ending: 4/27/2012 or 27/4/2012

    Thanks!
