AP also highlighted that it might be a good time to review our public statement in regards to certification, product system stability and see if there is the need to change or update it. The proposal is to agree to focus on the stability of the system before implementing the Global Trust Anchor and to then communicate to IANA and other stakeholders.
PW emphasized that it is important to move forward with the project and to look now at the establishment of a test bed cooperatively with IANA. A public announcement on the NRO expectations with regards to the test bed should also be drafted, and clearly explain that we will be working as a test bed for a long time until the system is stable and there is a demand for production purpose.
Byron Ellacot (BE) was invited to make a brief on the ECG work plan with respect to RPKI as circulated in the draft agenda for the ECG meeting in Berlin.

He also informed that an informal meeting is scheduled with Elise Gerich and Joe Abley to explain to them the status of the RPKI.
