At the time of publication the RSSAC was not able to reach consensus on whether RPKI should be included in the evaluation of a candidate operator.

I strongly object to the negative inference and would rather see no mention of the technology at all than the negative stance inferred in the current wording.

I like that we are able to say that and am very happy to see such transparency. This doesn’t necessarily mean that RPKI et al is bad, but simply RSSAC has not been able to make a determination yet on the technology in light of the root server system. (and also sends a message that there is indeed another work item here for RSSAC, and some liaison with SSAC)

It seems to me that we might set up a work item (maybe a Work Party) in terms of root system and RPKI in the light of discussions in this thread. 

RPKI as yet another fundamental security enhancement, deserves our attentions with regard to safeguarding the routes to the root  servers, since many efforts have been made by the IETF community and RIRs have started to offer Resource Certification services .
