Following the consultation period as noted in the mail sent to the mailing list on 11 February on the issue of RPKI/Certification of Provider Independent (PI) resources for End Users, the RIPE NCC Executive Board discussed the issue at some length during their recent meeting on 26th March. After reviewing all feedback from the mailing list, the Board concluded that, as there is still disquiet about certification of resources in general and, in addition, as certification of resources to PI End Users is a service to be offered to non-members as well as to the RIPE NCC membership, the wider Internet community should have input into the decision-making process. The Board has therefore decided that the RIPE NCC should not offer RPKI/Certification for PI resources at this time. The Executive Board encourages interested parties to propose a community policy for the certification of PI End User resources through the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP).
