[arin-ppml] ARIN discontinuing DNSSEC capability to legacy holders

[william manning]

I would be happy to see ARIN follow your advice IF I could take my
registrations elsewhere.  However the DNS is, like it or not, a
natural monopoly.  ARIN has avoided regulation thus far by honoring
the legacy holders assignments.  I concur with Michael that enabling
DNSSEC support for legacy holders is something new, but maintains the
cohesion across the DNS, which is a critical component for workable
DNS.

As usual, YMMV.  I'm persuaded that ARIN if ARIN offers DNSSEC for any
registrants, it should offer DNSSEC to all registrants.   Contracts
are good, but ARIN has never had or expected 100% of its clients to be
contractually bound to ARIN.  ARIN knew this when it was established
and nothing, fundamentally, has changed.
