Hi Felipe,

This looks pretty good as an outline policy framework - thanks for 
publishing it!  One comment: in the no-provider-downtime / five-9s 
requirement item, structural failure is an inherent behavioural pattern 
of all engineered systems, so aiming towards fail-safe mechanisms, 
reducing time-to-recovery and reduction of collateral damage will 
usually result in better overall system performance, particularly in 
cases where there are complex downstream dependencies (and in the case 
of RPKI, downstream-upstream interdependencies).
