Purpose of the meeting is to discuss 6486-bis

- currently RPs have differing results

Ground rules:
    - publish new MFT and CRL atomically
    - CA may publish additional items
    - if an RPs view of a CA does not include the minimal set (i.e. what's on
    the MFT?) the CA is excluded from OV calculations

Clarification:
    - Items not a MFT need not be considered

Cached items may be used if they match the name and hash in a current manifest.
This is motivated by people pointing out that if cached items cannot be used
the RPKI is trivially DoS'ed.

Job talks about not trusting "rsync --delete", but deleting objects only when
they are found not to be relevant. However, this can lead to irrelevant files
being deleted and re-downloaded on every synchronisation. Steve Kent clarifies
that the MFT instructs the RP about what is relevant, but does not say what can
be deleted.

Tim will send a proposal to the WG about the use of rsync URIs in RRDP

Conclusion:
    - Steve Kent will publish document
    - Job Snijder will make an RP implementation matrix based on the text
    - Other RP implementors are asked to fill out the matrix

Randy talks about the need for a better *automated* signalling mechanism from
RP software to operators. Jeff talked about relevant work in the IETF for this
- but I missed where it is - so if someone can comment on this?
