Numerous members of the security and network engineering community and I have discussed this over the last 12 months, and the RPA is a show stopper for some of us. Paragraphs 3 and 4 are the key. It's one way warranties (you -> ARIN), just like the RSA.
It's thorny because if you put yourself in ARIN's shoes for a moment, you have to balance the risk of bankrupting the company with the responsibility of being a trust anchor. Unfortunately, like many ARIN legal postures, the unwillingness to take on any risk at all is problematic. I really hope the new Board takes this issue up again in 2015 - the unwillingness to accept any risk even though ARIN is a key part of the internet community, and the one-sidedness of its legal agreements due to same.

Acceptance of this agreement is required in order to gain access to ARIN's Trust Anchor Locator (TAL). Given the size and number of these organizations that can't or wont accept the agreement makes me wonder if this is a show stopper that will prevent the adoption of this technology. I've created a quick survey to get an idea of the community's take on this agreement with the idea that if enough organizations indicate it is unacceptable, maybe we can get this agreement changed, or as with other regions, not explicitly required to use the TAL. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10RLBBpL05n1c_H4unHitlsVqNM3rZI5aXAX8iSBc_Kk/viewform?usp=send_form Thank you _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
