Michael, My assumption was that (outside BRSKI) the Pledge was sold to the owner of Domain A, and the MASA knew this (and the identity of the Registrar for A). One of the students that I presented ANIMA concepts to asked the question, "What happens if the Pledge chooses the "wrong" Proxy?" I believe that I now have enough information (from the discussion that you added at the bottom) to answer his question. After exploring this a bit more, I may have a suggestion for an addition to the text, to forestall such questions in the future.
Thank you for your response. Bill On 03/12/2017 11:26 AM, Michael Richardson wrote: > > William Atwood <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have been reading the BRSKI I-D.
