[arin-discuss] Question about the ARIN Relying Party Agreement - RPKI 'everyone must sign' and such...

[David Farmer]

Chris,

This was discussed a little on the ARIN-Tech-Discuss list back in 
October, and was in the RPKI Demo presentation in Dallas, "Step 3 
Becoming a Relying Party", Slide 25;

http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-tech-discuss/2012-October/000241.html

https://www.arin.net/participate/meetings/reports/ARIN_XXX/ppm.html

But, it is worthy of more discussion.
