a. Status of Architecture Document
b. Status of with IANA on testbed
c. Establishment of NRO position and public update to IANA
PW briefed on the discussion held on the mailing list and questions which arise at the last RIPE NCC meeting on the global trust anchor work. He highlighted that the RIRs announcement made 2 years ago is still valid but there is no consensus yet from all the RIRs and consequently none at the NRO level to move forward with the implementation as a priority.
New Action Item 130521-03 PW. The EC to review the RPKI architecture document, agree on a timeline and respond to IANA.
Axel Pawlik (AP) informed that Andrew de la Haye (AH) volunteered to coordinate the RPKI and he has requested him to make the communication around the RPKI more active. AH will follow through and work with the ECG on an overview of the status of the RPKI implementation, and circulate within the group and prepare a meeting at the IETF in Berlin.
RE queried on the status of RPKI within the other RIRs.
AA briefed that AFRINIC region, there is no resistance to move within the RPKI architecture and same can be done within the previous communication sent to ICANN. However, he pointed out that the whole coordination aspects of the RPKI at NRO Level is to be reviewed and all the parties involved have to be informed what is being done and have regular update in order to minimize issues.
AP supported AA and was of the view that the technical implementation of the RPKIs around the RIRs are progressing. He reiterated that AH will work together with the different coordination group, take the lead and make sure using all resources to make the process runs smoothly.
PW confirmed that APNIC is moving forward with the RPKI and collaborating with IANA and the RIRs to implement the global trust anchor as an option for the community to use. PW suggested that a better way to start the implementation through a testing phase over a period of time and keep records of membership.
Nate Davies (ND) representing ARIN agreed with PW to abide by the primary statement made to ICANN but to leave other options opened.

AA agreed with PW that global policies is the right approach to have and there is the need to clarify the issue with ICANN. The NRO should receive a message from ICANN certifying that they are assigning the global trust anchor to IANA and the NRO should also communicate to ICANN that we are working on the policies that will allow IANA to provide that services.
