I did look through the minutes and would agree that they are "lacking".  Although I see some discussion of the issue under the "AS aliasing Replace AS Local AS" and "Replace as - AS migration" sections, on p. 7, all I (mainly) see are: "One way is use pcount=0" and "Going to have to be knob".  It's unclear, to me, if there were (are?) other suggested solutions made and/or how the pCount=0 suggestion is thought to work, in practice.  Are these written down in detail somewhere in a draft, ideally, or in the mean time can the WG chairs, or folks who suggested the idea(s), share them with the list?  In particular, I'm curious about the potential security implications of now allowing anyone to turn on this "feature" and allowing them to dump anything they want into the BGPSEC_Path_Signature attribute, (assuming that any ASN they put in with pCount=0 in the BGPSEC_Path_Signature has valid signatures of course).

Thanks,
