So I was just somewhat surprised to see this come up.

Sorry that I did not let you know we were doing the RP I-D in advance. 

Thank you and Oleg for kicking off the topic on RP implementation by writing rpki-tree-validation :-)

> That being said, we are all busy, so I have no problem with you taking the lead in the effort to document the generalised RP requirements instead. Especially as an Informational document referencing the authoritative docs - as it seems to do.

Anyway, inputs from RP software implementers are quite important to the job of laying out the generalized RP requirements.  

Steve and I are therefore looking forwards to seeing contributions from the RP implementers.

Please let us know any improvements that should be made.

I recall the discussion of the I-D that tries to collect all of the RP requirements in one place, with cites to the sources of these requirements. It part, I recall folks at the mic arguing that this I-D was redundant relative to the existing WG document on tree validation. I don't think this is an accurate comparison of the two docs, although I agree that there is overlap between them.

The RP requirements doc cites 11 SIDR RFCs, plus the BGPsec (router cert) profile. Thus it appears that the requirements doc tries to address a wider set of RFCs relevant to RP requirements. More importantly, the requirements doc is generic, while the tree validation doc is expressly a description of one RP implementation. Thus it is an example of how that implementation tries to meet the RP requirements, not a general characterization of RP requirements.
