Good morning Randy - 

  Are you indicating that RPKI services should be offered without any
  RPA (and/or CPS) at all, or that these agreements should legally 
  adhere without explicit agreement?   There is an statement expressing
  that CPS or RPA might benefit from the latter treatment in section 
  3.4 of the Internet PKI framework (RFC 3647), but it does not actually
  hold legally true at the present time.  If you have more insight or 
  clarity on this matter, it would be most welcome.

Thanks!
