Hi everyone, The survey is only meant to measure the consensus in the community. We are going to group the survey responses by region and create a ‘before’ picture so to speak.
Ideally speaking, this research needs to happen at each RIR as each of them come with their own challenges. From the interviews we’ve had so far, LACNIC and AFRINIC are not particularly concerned with ASN management at the moment. We want to anticipate the potential impact of these policy changes before they go into effect. Which is why the interviews are so important. The survey itself cannot possibly capture the diversity of opinions around the world. We are only trying to roughly estimate the consensus through it. So, I invite everyone to share their perspective so we can identify potential issues. As far as the bias is concerned, I am but human. But as a researcher my work shall be, to the best of my ability, free of bias.

What do you want to prove by it? Because it is clear by your RIPE 88 speech, as by your tone here that you have a bias. Cherry picking the evidence you need is not a research work.

The primary motivation for this change was that both RIPE and APNIC noticed a large number of assigned ASNs that were not being advertised in the Global routing tables. Approximately 21% of all ASNs are functionally not participating in global routing. By implementing an ASN fee, they hope to have these unused numbers returned to the RIR in order to prevent wastage in the long term. Each have taken separate paths to execute this. RIPE has a flat €50 fee per ASN. While APNIC has gone for the first ASN to be free, but every subsequent one being charged AUD600. While APNIC policies might not impact hobby network growth in the future, RIPE policies might. When ARIN implemented these fees, they were justified as being a more financial issue to stay afloat. Definitely appreciate your perspective though. -----Original Message----- From: Dale W.
