Re: [sidr] wglc draft-ietf-sidr-policy-qualifiers-00

I support this draft being sent to WGLC. I have read the draft.

PKI imposes operational outcomes which relate to legalisms. conditions of
use, conditions of operation of service, dimensions which lie outside the
routing plane, and barely come into play for most of the time, but when you
*want to know* about things, its useful to have a pointer in the signed
material. What we think about these legalisms is not the point: its the
ability to reference them which is under discussion here. There is no
current mechanism to do that. This draft proposes a mechanism.

I think it does no harm, and I think it will do some good. I certainly have
text which has been given to me by lawyers which I regard as highly
suitable to be pointed to, by this kind of thing, and I expect other
operators of (r)PKI would expect to be able to do the same.

A small amount of work is required by validators of RPKI certificates to
understand a new optional element can exist and not reject certificates for
having the OID in the ASN.1.

I can't think of anything in the draft which requires an 01, and if minor
nits came up I believe they could be fixed in IESG/AUTHOR48 timeframes.
