Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard RFC.

This draft specifies a template that is a profile of the CMS signed data object.  The intent is that specifications for RPKI objects used for SIDR will extend this template to specify the objects.  This draft serves a valuable function, in that most of the ASN.1 necessary to use CMS, including all of the signing syntax, is specified here as opposed to being left to the specific object definitions, removing a number of opportunities for unintended divergence.

The draft was clearly written by experts in this area. I didn't find anything that appeared to need attention, and neither did idnits 2.12.08 .  Kudos to the authors - in my experience, drafts that are this clean are the exception in Gen-ART reviews at IETF Last Call.

Thanks,
--David
