2022.26: Add Functionality to Assist Customers Transitioning From Hosted to Delegated RPKI
https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/suggestions/2022/2022-26/

Author: Michael Drzal   
Submitted On: 17 October 2022

Description: The choice of hosted or delegated RPKI is made at the organization level. If a customer chooses to switch from hosted to delegated RPKI, all ROAs are invalidated and the customer must recreate all of the ROAs in the new system. During the transition period, the prefixes are not protected from BGP hijacks. This becomes a bigger deal when there are hundreds of ROAs involved. In our case our largest org has 515 prefixes each with multiple ROAs. We intentionally slow the rate of change in ROAs to avoid having unwanted effects within global internet routing. At our current rate, it would take us 25 hours to create all of the new ROAs. This is less of a concern for organizations with 1-2 prefixes that could easily recreate their ROAs within seconds. It would be beneficial to allow customers to run hosted and delegated RPKI in the same org at the same time for the purpose of transitioning between the two modes.

Value to Community: This would allow customers to switch between delegated and hosted RPKI without opening up their resources to route hijacks. Customers with a larger number of prefixes are the ones who are more likely to investigate moving to delegated RPKI, but they are also the ones most affected by this issue.

Response from ARIN: Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2022.26 on confirmed receipt, requesting that ARIN add functionality to assist customers transitioning from hosted to delegated RPKI.

We agree this feature has the potential to ease the transition between RPKI deployment types for organizations with large numbers of resources covered by ROAs. We will investigate the requirements to build this new feature and schedule it for future development. Your suggestion will remain open until implemented.

Thank you for participating in the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process.

2022.27: Fee Implementation For ARIN Public Policy and Members Meetings
https://www.arin.net/participate/community/acsp/suggestions/2022/2022-27/	

Author: Anonymous   
Submitted On: 25 October 2022

Description: Charge a small amount ($100-300) for ARIN Meetings.

Value to Community: This will reduce the quantity of fake Visa requests and reduce non-attendees registering for perks only, and not actually participating in the meetings. (Also allow no-fee registrations with a justification for students and those that do not have employer funding but should require an application and approval.)

Timeframe: Not specified

Status: Closed   Updated: 02 November 2022

Response from ARIN: Thank you for your suggestion, numbered 2022.27 upon confirmed receipt, requesting that ARIN charge a minimal fee for in-person registration to attend ARIN Public Policy and Member Meetings while allowing for fee waivers for those with approved justification.

Given that such a fee change would fall under the guidance of the ARIN Board of Trustees, this suggestion has been provided to the ARIN Board Chair for future consideration.

Thank you for your participation in the ARIN Consultation and Suggestion Process. This suggestion is now closed.
