SIDR met on Tue morning.

We had three discussions of changes to existing documents.  Two were expansion/correction to RFCs, one an expansion to existing draft. [Details: multiple publication points for trust anchor locators, correct mandated signature algorithm for signed objects to match CMS mandated signature algorithm, expand router certificate to authorize for multiple AS numbers which could reduce deployment burden).

We had an energetic discussion of a change to semantics of certificate validity.  This is a basic part of the architecture but might help make the system more resilient to errors.  Not really sure how the wg wants to go with this - it has cone up in three meetings now, with energetic discussions, but no progress in between.

THere were two discussions of mechanisms that might ease concerns about hierarchical control and autonomy.

There was a discussion of some testing of rsync and its vulnerabilities.

There was a discussion of a deployment experience in Ecuador (an IXP with national coverage).  They have committed to a 15 Mar date for starting to drop invalid BGP routes.
