[ARIN-consult] Short summary of requirements (was: Re: RPKI/IRR Consultation Reminder and Update)

[John Curran]

Folks - 

Based on the discussion to date, I believe the following approach for synchronized route object creation for RPKI ROAs in ARIN Online would cover most of the expressed requirements – 

– In addition to the present “Auto-renewing” attribute for a ROA, there would be “Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects” attribute for ROAs that could be set during ROA Creation or Manage ROA in ARIN Online
– The “Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects” attribute could be On or Off, and would initially be set to the Organizational “Automatic Matching IRR Object Creation for ROAs” default value – which would be On unless/until changed otherwise by the organization. 

– New ROAs created with “Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects” set to On would result in the matching route objects being created.
– Customers could manage existing ROAs and turn "Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects”  to On, in which case the matching route objects would be created.

– Existing ROAs with “Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects” set to On that are then changed to Off would result in matching route objects being deleted – but only if the route objects in question were automatically created.
– Existing ROAs that are deleted or that expire with “Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects set to On would result in matching route objects being deleted - but only if the route objects in question were automatically created.

ARIN would not change the “Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects” for any existing ROAs, and these would be set to Off by default – so as to avoid routing changes that would otherwise occur at time of matching route object feature rollout. 
(Customers with existing ROAs who wished automatic matching route objects to be created would just have to log into ARIN Online, and manage toggle Auto-Matching-IRR-Objects to On for each ROA.) 

Are there any particular comments or concerns with the above approach?

Thanks!
