At RIPE 63, six months ago, the RIPE NCC membership got a chance to vote on RPKI at the general meeting. The result was that the RIPE NCC has the green light to continue offering the Resource Certification service, including all BGP Origin Validation related functionality. It's correct that concerns were raised in the area of security, resilience and operator autonomy, as you mention. These concerns are continuously being evaluated and addressed. The response to the update that was given at RIPE 64 two weeks ago indicated that the membership and Community are happy with the approach the RIPE NCC is taking in this regard. Of course I realize that some people will never be convinced, no matter which steps are taken…
Alex, I have to take exception with your statement that people in the RIPE region are generally happy about RPKI and the RIPE NCC RPKI project. They aren't.
That's not what I said. :)
- a substantial number of people, both within the RIPE community and within the RIPE NCC membership have serious concerns about the long-term legal consequences of this project which have not (in their opinion) been addressed adequately.
I already linked to my RIPE64 presentation from two weeks ago before, but here it is again: https://ripe64.ripe.net/presentations/77-RIPE64-Plenery-RPKI.pdf Slide 2-4: we heard you. This is what I said:

This is where I suspect you may be:

So all in all you quoted me well. :) -Alex Now getting in my car for some internet-free holidays in the sun. See you all in a week!
