Hi Owen,
Your statement above I have to insist is simply incorrect. In addition
to the traditional services that are relied upon in a variety of daily
operations (e.g. WHOIS, IRR, DNS reverse delegations), the increasingly
important RPKI TAs/PPs services are of utmost importance in the daily
operations of an increasing number of networks within and outside their
region. They are just a different kind of infrastructure service
operator than we may be commonly thing of when it comes to network
operations.
+1 as its important to remind folk the above and most importantly to provide the additional distinct role of the RIR and their importance beyond just managing INR allocations.
