[arin-discuss] [arin-announce] Important Update Regarding Resource Certification

[George, Wes E [NTK]]

There have been some threads about this on NANOG in the last few days. Can
we get a bit clearer explanation of what the specific security concerns are
and why they are delaying things? It may also make sense for someone from
ARIN to post to NANOG with an explanation as well. If there are security
concerns, it is something that the community should be aware of in case
other RIRs or the SIDR WG need to be considering those issues as well.

Thanks, 
Wes George
