SIDR met on Thurs morning.  Since IETF95, one SIDR document has been published as an RFC, one is in RFC Editor queue, and one got to the IESG but paused to wait for the BGPsec protocol draft.  We have requested publication for five documents,  Among those is the set of the BGPsec protocol, and the update to RFC6485 and RFC6487 to add router certs and elliptic curve to the RPKI for the BGPsec protocol.

We have two documents that just finished wglc, and a third that is waiting for commenters to agree that their wglc comments were addressed.  So another 1-3 documents should soon be out of the wg and added to the AD’s queue.

We have a redefinition in progress of the validation of certificates.  We are discovering the many places in the existing document set that will need to be updated because of that change.  In this meeting, the idea of needing a new OID for the certificates was discussed, as a means of distinguishing the certificates under the new semantics from the old semantics.  There are decisions ahead about parallel duplicate systems, or a mix of certificates in the same system, or a transition from one certificate type to another, etc.

The Routing AD brought up in Buenos Aires that the remaining work in SIDR is mostly not about routing.  In this meeting we discussed separation of the SIDR operations oriented work into a new to-be-chartered wg in the OPS area.
