The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6482,
"A Profile for Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs)".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6482&eid=3166

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Andrew Chi <achi@bbn.com>

Section: 4

Original Text
-------------
...EE certificate's IP address delegation extension.

Corrected Text
--------------
...EE certificate's IP address delegation extension.  The EE certificate
MUST NOT use "inherit" elements as described in [RFC3779].

Notes
-----
Having spoken to the authors, the authors' intent was to disallow "inherit" in ROA EE certificates in order to simplify validation of ROAs.  Implementers agree, and as of March 2012, the three public validator implementations already enforce this.

This erratum simply states it explicitly, whereas the original text might be misread as leaving room for indirectly-specified resources via "inherit".

Instructions:
-------------
This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
