Our Work in 2021

• We will continue growing the number of MANRS Participants to improve routing security. By the end of 2021, we expect to see a 10% decrease in the number of global routing incidents.
• We will work to increase uptake in routing security measures among MANRS Participants:
  • 10% increase in ROA (Route Origin Authorization) creation by the existing MANRS participants; 
  • 5% of existing MANRS participants implementing ROV (Route Origin Validation); and, 
  • 30% improvement in MANRS participants’ conformance.
• We are committed to providing ongoing support to MANRS as a community-designed and, ultimately, a community-led initiative. In 2021, we will work with the MANRS Advisory Group on assessing community readiness to receive, cultivate, own, and govern MANRS initiative moving forward.

High-level, long-term goals include MANRS being viewed as a norm in routing operations—with non-conformance seen as unacceptable—and, by 2025, for MANRS itself being a self-governed community engaged in substantive activities that drive improvements in routing security. 

Our Work in 2020

• The number of MANRS Participants more than doubled in 2020, reaching 588 participants in December. 
• We launched a new Programme for CDN and Cloud Providers and a Task Force to support the Programme Development.
• We updated the MANRS Observatory to make it more informative and easy to use.
• We established an Advisory Group to represent the MANRS Participants and to ensure that decisions about participation have the support of the MANRS Community.
• We conducted a new 6-month MANRS Ambassador and Fellow Program, focusing on three key areas: Training, Research, and Policy.
