As this was discussed last year on the WG, the US FCC recently (4th April)
released a draft Declaratory Ruling and Order in the Open Internet
Proceeding <https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-401676A1.pdf> [1].
However, there is concerning language (*paragraph 46*) in this ruling that
strongly implies the FCC’s intention to regulate border gateway protocol
(BGP) routing security. While the FCC’s motives may be well-intentioned,
regulating BGP routing security could have a catastrophic impact on the
Internet, not just in the United States but globally.

Internet Society and the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) sent formal comments
<https://www.internetsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2024-FCC-Ex-Parte-re-BGP.pdf>
to the FCC Commissioners’ key staff members on these issues, recommending
strongly against regulating BGP routing security.

Discussions on all of these issues will start in earnest at the Commission
after April 25th, once they release an actual rule making proposal directly
focused on routing security.

We suspect at that point it would be quite important for the community to
weigh in on the regulation.
