[arin-announce] Important Update Regarding Resource Certification

[ARIN]

We previously announced that ARIN intends to provide a production-grade 
Resource Certification service starting 1 January 2011. As a result of 
an extensive review in preparation for offering this service, we have 
determined that additional functionality must be added to the service 
architecture to mitigate specific security concerns. These features will 
delay ARIN’s production release until very early in the second quarter 
of 2011. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause ARIN 
participants; however, we think you will like the result. In the 
meantime, the ARIN community is encouraged to join ARIN’s Resource 
Certification pilot as an interim measure. This pilot has been in place 
since June 2009. For more information concerning Resource Certification 
and ARIN’s pilot program, visit http://www.arin.net/resources/rpki.html.
