If I remember correctly, the ARDC must have something north of $25M US
dollars in the bank (assuming the original sale to Amazon had a 40%+ tax
applied). If true, wouldn't it make sense to have the ARDC spend some
of this money to create some of these foundation technologies so we can
continue enjoying 44.x.x.x address space as the Internet continues to
evolve? Some of these technologies aren't simple and while there are
many brilliant people on this list, this is our hobby area.. not our day
job.
This seems like a potential good use of the ARDC money as long as the
effort is properly spec'ed, monitored, and audited. Once in place,
maybe we can have volunteers to help maintain the infrastructure.
Just my $0.02

The whole discussion around setting up an ARDC

The issue this brings up then is
one of legitimacy and competency of ARDC and
the desire to make this happen. ARDC can't figure out DNSSEC, TAL and cert
signing is way beyond that.
RPKI is a nice to have, an additional way to secure networks, it's not the
only way, nor should it be. It's a nice to have, but there's got to be a
desire to make it happen.
