The IESG has received a request from the Secure Inter-Domain Routing WG (sidr) to consider the following document: - 'An Out-Of-Band Setup Protocol For RPKI Production Services' <draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-oob-setup-04.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-01-10. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This note describes a simple out-of-band protocol to ease setup of the RPKI provisioning and publication protocols between two parties. The protocol is encoded in a small number of XML messages, which can be passed back and forth by any mutually agreeable secure means. This setup protocol is not part of the provisioning or publication protocol, rather, it is intended to simplify configuration of these protocols by setting up relationships and exchanging BPKI keying material. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-oob-setup/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-oob-setup/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
