Hi Randy,

Prop-37 is listed in the abandoned part of the proposal archive page (http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/archive.html) - although from minutes, the proposal wasn't abandoned but sent back to the working group. (but can now certainly be called abandoned or withdrawn as a policy proposal)

If it helps, the direct link is: http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-037-v002.html

Not germane to the withdrawal of the proposal, but as I understand it, LACNIC do not do management of resource via email. I think also crypto-signed email is not the same as being both signed and encrypted but I believe this discussion has already happened at the working group level.

Cheers Terry

hi terry,

i can not find prop-37 in the proposal archive, either http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/index.html or http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/archive.html so i can not be sure what the proposal was/is.

but if this was the proposal to eliminate email registration, my impression was that the proposal was rejected by the membership, not that it was turned over to apnic ops as an operational matter. this would be, of course, because it seriously affects member interaction with apnic.

note that all the other rirs have crypto signed email as a major interface.
