Randy, we have an operational need to separate the existing single TAL into its discrete components for each source, so we can have production certificates for each source, so that we can ultimately have them signed under their appropriate parent registry, Once there is a global trust anchor, you can validate the 5 APNIC operating CA under a single root, single TAL. Until then, an APNIC TAL is necessary. -George
