Summary
Board directs the CEO to prepare to implement and deploy an ICANN Global Trust Anchor for supporting RPKI objects and necessary support structures for implementing an Internet Number Resource Certification system.
Text
Whereas, ICANN has made commitments to support Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) in the ICANN 2011-2014 Strategic Plan and the Plan for Enhancing Internet Security, Stability, and Resiliency (FY11).
Whereas, ICANN has received requests from stakeholders for ICANN to operate the Global Trust Anchor (GTA) of the Internet Number Resource Certification System and to issue RPKI objects.
Whereas, the IETF Secure Internet-Domain Routing (SIDR) working group has published several IETF standards documents that solidify the technology known as RPKI (as of this writing four documents are currently in the RFC Editor Queue, four have been approved for publication, and a further five await IESG action), and one of the documents approved for publication is a request for IANA to issue a number of RPKI objects.
Whereas, the regional Internet registries have already constructed Internet Number Resource Certification systems based on the RPKI technology and have both trial and operational deployments.
Whereas, technical, operational, and infrastructure elements must be deployed and implemented to support the GTA of the Internet Number Resource Certification system.
Resolved (2011.06.24.22), the Board directs the CEO to take steps to prepare to implement and deploy an ICANN Global Trust Anchor for supporting RPKI objects and necessary support structures for implementing an Internet Number Resource Certification system.
Implementation Actions
- Prepare to implement and deploy an ICANN Global Trust Anchor for supporting RPKI objects and necessary support structures for implementing an Internet Number Resource Certification system.
- Responsible entity: CEO
- Due date: None provided
- Completion date: Ongoing
Rationale
ICANN is responding to the expressed needs of the technical and Internet number resource communities for the establishment of a single authoritative trust anchor for RPKI, and that the trust anchor should be aligned with the existing number resource hierarchy. Approval of this proposal allows ICANN to fulfill specific requests from the IETF for issuing RPKI certification for unallocated and reserved Internet number resources (IPv4, IPv6, and Autonomous System numbers).
