As stated, I would much prefer that the structure be as simple as possible, and the co-ordination function be improved through some inter-RIR brokerage/exhange/transfer protocol. I wonder (just thinking aloud) if there would be dire consequences of a 24hr overlap in information. Clearly a question about RP decision time if the ROAs differ.. but other than that? (maybe a @beers discussion)


Could the following option be valid to maintain structural simplicity, thinking that certificates have both a space function, and a time function?

(and noting that this is not a ERX transfer)

EngulfAndDevour acquires MomAndPopISP.
EngulfAndDevour advises both RIRs of the purchase
EngulfAndDevour advises that at 0100hrs UTC on a future date all resources (ROAs et al) are transferred to RIR 1. RIR 1 advises RIR 2 to reissue all of MomAndPopISP resources (ROAs et al) with a validity period that ends at 0059:59hrs UTC on that date RIR 1 issues the old MomAndPopISP resources for EngulfAndDevour with a validity period that begins at 0100hrs UTC on that future date.

Through all this, routing will still work, RPs don't have a confusing decision to make (validity time takes care of that), no TAs are making conflicting statements due to the time principle, and the structure of the RPKI is simple such that RIRs aren't maintaining CAs of other RIRs, further (and based on a brief email discussion with on RIR policy staff) the resources transferred to an RIR under would stay at that rir, until another transfer event (ERX included). But as randy says, RIR policy are subject to change - best to design this to avoid codifying that in a standard where possible.
