Thank you for your feedback Gaurab, as an fee-paying member as well as
a member of the EC you have a unique insight here.
You bring up a very important concern above. It is certainly not the
intent of this proposal to create an unreasonable burden on APNIC. It
is difficult however for the membership as a whole to ascertain this
burden is in fact unreasonable without being authorised to view any
information around the costs associated with its implementation.
While it is an important issue that you raise, unfortunately the
magnitude of the importance depends on the magnitude of the marginal
cost associated with the creation of an additional RPKI ROA. If this
cost is $100 per record then as you say, this could open APNIC up to a
cost of $4,600,000. I'm sure everyone would agree that that was
unreasonable. If on the other hand the marginal cost of creation and
maintenance is 1 cent per record then this cost is only $450, well
within the realms of the other 'public good' work performed by APNIC
for the benefit of non-member entities. Release of the cost
implications may cause a number of outcomes for this proposal, it may
prove to be a cost that members would be happy for the EC to accept,
it may cause the RPKI portion of this proposal to be removed, it may
also cause a different RPKI trust anchor with a lower cost model to be
suggested.
Sanjaya, Gaurab has bought to light an important issue which is
central to this proposal. Could I request information regarding the
marginal cost of creation of an additional RPKI ROA to an existing
allocation be made public to the list. I appreciate that exact
figures may be difficult to obtain given the tight time constraints,
to make this easier, an upper and lower bound on this cost would also
be fine
Once again, thanks for bringing up this issue Gaurab.
