Every ISP requesting an ASN from one of the LIR's should be required to make a test covering the neccessary skillsets.
Giving the rapid turnover of people in this industry, I'm not sure it would help. Two months after the test, may be all the clueful people will be gone.
How about an ISP running BGB is required to have a number of "LIR certified" BGP people and is otherwise not allowed to peer *grin*
And what about the organizations which rely on external consultancy? Should it be forbidden?
No, the consultants can be "LIR certified" too. I just dont see why people need to have a damn license for "lots of stuff" but noone cares if the people running border routers have the neccessary qualifications. It just doesnt make sense and i am pretty sure that this _will_ change. -- Arnd
