- you're in favour of the general principle, want some details changed, but agree to pospone that to the next round of certificate-related proposals (like "this proposal does not cover PI" - yes, we know, the plan was to "start with the easy bits = PA").
Why is it stated :
This proposal only applies to IPv4 ALLOCATED PA blocks that were issued by the RIPE NCC and excludes early registration and legacy space, as well as blocks marked as ALLOCATED UNSPECIFIED or ALLOCATED PI.
As I said: "start with the easy bits". *This* proposal is "start with PA" (because the CA TF though that it would be easier to start with just a subset). When we get this done, the CA-TF - or anyone else who wants to driver this forward - can do another one for PI and/or ERX space. [..]
And to make things probably worse for the discussion, I would think that having the LIR manage this on behalf of their PI customers, might not be a bad idea, also because the location of the online certification site is in the LIR portal and this could be seen as one of the tasks a LIR does on behalf for their customers. PI LIR customers that doesn't want their specific LIR to deal with their certification process, could either change LIR or change to a Direct Assignment End-User, but I'm guessing that would be a very small group of all PI customers.
This sounds like a good rationale why we didn't cover PI in this initial proposal - more thought is needed. So please don't drag this specific thread into "how to do it with PI?" land, but focus on *this* proposal "do certificates for PA, or not?"
If the CA-TF isn't planning to change the policy to include ALLOCATED PI, is there a set time-frame on when this will be proposed / implemented ?
You're welcome to propose a parallel proposal for PI right away - but I think process-wise it would be easier to wait for a decision on this one, and then base the next on it.
