If customers are unaware of ASN rules why not make it easier and specify
a link to RFC6996 in the proposal? Section 5 does indicate what are
private ASNs but shouldn't a backlink to the relevant RFC be included?

On 15 July 2021, the ARIN Advisory Council (AC) accepted
"ARIN-prop-298: Private AS Number and Unique Routing Policy
Clarifications" as a Draft Policy.

You are encouraged to discuss all Draft Policies on PPML. The AC will
evaluate the discussion in order to assess the conformance of this
draft policy with ARIN's Principles of Internet number resource policy
as stated in the Policy Development Process (PDP). Specifically, these
principles are:
* Enabling Fair and Impartial Number Resource Administration
* Technically Sound
* Supported by the Community

Draft Policy ARIN-2021-3: Private AS Number and Unique Routing Policy
Clarifications
Problem Statement:
At ARIN 47, staff identified three points of potential confusion with
current text in NRPM Section 5: AS Numbers.
1. “Sites that do not require a unique AS Number should use one or
more of the AS Numbers reserved for private use.” Some customers are
not aware that their need for a unique AS Number depends upon their
need (or lack thereof) to utilize the AS Number on the public Internet.
2. “In order to be assigned an AS Number, each requesting organization
must provide ARIN with verification that it has one of the following…A
unique routing policy (its policy differs from its border gateway
peers)…A multihomed site.” Few customers qualify for an AS Number
under the “unique routing policy” requirement, specifically because
they aren’t aware of what “unique routing policy” applies to.
3. “AS Numbers are issued based on current need. An organization
should request an AS Number only when it is already multihomed or will
immediately become multihomed.” All ARIN delegations are based on
current needs, and some customers aren’t aware they need network plans
when they request an AS Number. Additionally, clarification that some
organizations may have a unique need for an AS Number outside of
utilizing a unique routing policy, such as BGP.
Policy statement:
In Section 5 -
Replace
“Sites that do not require a unique AS Number should use one or more
of the AS Numbers reserved for private use.”
with
“Private ASNs should be used only when there is no plan to use them on
the public Internet.”
Replace
“1. A unique routing policy (its policy differs from its border
gateway peers) 2. A multihomed site.”
with
“1. A plan to connect their network using a unique routing policy,
such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) 2. A network requiring routing
policies to be deployed which are unique only to that network”
Replace
“AS Numbers are issued based on current need. An organization should
request an AS Number only when it is already multihomed or will
immediately become multihomed.”
with
“AS Numbers should be requested when an organization has network plans
ready and is either planning to use a unique routing policy (such as
BGP) or has a unique need for an AS Number.”
Timetable for implementation: Immediate
