Sandy, Can you elaborate what your "concerns about this agreement's impact on the envisioned RPKI architecture and dominant use" are? Do you have a reference or outline we can review prior to the discussion in order to keep this from being a bash-the-RIR-and-force-them-into-submission-for-trying-to-deploy-this-stuff fest?
In addition to Sandy's concerns, the agreement contains a third-party indemnification clause (as do other ARIN RPKI-related agreements) that makes it difficult for many state and federal government (and large EDUs) to simply click through and sign. In most of these environments, the network engineers who would be wanting to try out RPKI would not be permitted to agree to such indemnification. This may also be true at large corporations.
This, I think, has very little architectural impact, but it does mean additional hoops for operators (like myself) to experiment with RPKI and/or put it in production. As such, further discussion is probably out of scope for SIDR, and I will take this to arin-discuss@ accordingly. But I did want to give this group an FYI that this may be at least a speed-bump on the deployment front.
