Dear OGF working groups, THE US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has invited comments on a draft special publication entitled "Protecting the Integrity of Internet Routing: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Route Origin Validation” that could have some impact for our community. In response, Jens Jensen, our OGF VP of Standards, has asked the members of our NSI group to loo this over and comment. If you have comments or questions on this, I would like to encourage you to either contact the NSI group through our OGF Area Director for Infrastructure Richard Hughes-Jones (cc’ed), or submit your comments directly to NIST. We would be happy to hear of any other discussions related to this or related topics that could bear on the activities of our community, viewed largely as NRENn, universities, national lab-based large-scale computing and networking. Please visit the link below for more information on this document. Link: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/1800-14/draft Alan
