Alvaro Retana has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-sidrops-rp-06: Abstain When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (Feel free to cut this introductory paragraph, however.) Please refer to https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html for more information about IESG DISCUSS and COMMENT positions. The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidrops-rp/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTAIN This document presents a nice summary, but I am ABSTAINing, and not standing in the way of publication, because I don't think the contribution has enough archival value and it could cause confusion. While the document tries to provide "a single reference point", it mostly points at other RFCs, which an implementer will have to consult anyway. IOW, this document seems to add to the list. No normative language is used, which is good from the point of view that this document doesn't define a specification, but in some places the text implies a requirement level, which may cause confusion -- again, the reader will have to consult the existing RFCs... The document itself recognizes the need to maintain it up to date: "This document will be update to reflect new or changed requirements as these RFCs are updated, or new RFCs are written." (s/be update/be updated) And the difficulty in doing so is evident in the fact that one of the referenced RFCs is already obsolete, but the text doesn't reflect that. [Even though I'm ABSTAINing, I have a couple of comments.] (1) This paragraph from §4.3 caught my eye... If there are valid objects in a publication point that are not present on a Manifest, [RFC6486] does not mandate specific RP behavior with respect to such objects. However, most RP software ignores such objects and the authors of this document suggest this behavior be adopted uniformly. ...because in it the authors get away from pointing at the existing RFCs to suggest a behavior. That clearly should not be the job of this document. (2) Nits: s/RPKI make use/RPKI makes use s/one of necessary/one of the necessary s/RP is required perform/RP is required to perform s/[RFC8208]and/[RFC8208] and
