One could easily presume the ARIN region RPKI deployment statistics are
lower as a result of the RPA situation (and no doubt that it part of the
issue), but as noted earlier, it's unlikely to be the full story since
we also have a region (APNIC) where RPKI deployment also rather low that
and yet does not have these RPA legal entanglements.
It was suggested earlier that this may be due to a combination of factors
(education, promotion) beyond the RPA legal issues that are now being
worked - so that will also need to be addressed once the RPA is resolved.
Are the US litigation risks that much higher than other jurisdictions so that ARIN needs to take a different approach than other RIRs ? If they are, perhaps a confederation design instead of centralized one would help scatter those risks ?
Rubens -
It is true that US has an abundance of litigation, and while this doesn't require
a different approach than other regions, it does often mean that we're far more
conservative in both technical and legal approaches initially. ARIN's RPA is
a typical example, in that it has allowed us to rollout the service in a timely
manner that would not have otherwise been possible. Now that there is
some operational experience, it's possible to review the experience and
see if a more relaxed risk posture can be accommodated.
