As I understand it, the perceived issue is:
RIRs issuing primarily 4-octet ASNs are running out of 4-octet ASNs and want to
get more 4-octet ASNs from IANA without having to first exhaust their 2-octet
pools.
Now, for my opinion on the matter:
IMHO, the intent of the current policy was to achi

2/3: I would be in support of policy that provided IANA with direction to
equally distribute the remaining 2-byte ASNs to the RIRs.
Once that has taken place, it can be left to the individual RIR to adapt

Draft Policy ARIN-2014-12 "Anti-hijack Policy," was discussed at ARIN 33

two modifications to the Policy Text suggested;

Wouldn't these routing policies just need to be rewritten/modernized to
use extended communities instead of the old 32-bit communities? 64-bits
of ext-community ought to be enough for community-type, a 32-bit ASN, and
some policy instruction. Whether any routers support this, and in a

This was brought up at the open mic, and people just shrugged.
I agree that this does not sound like a solution, but at the same
time it did not move the community to reconsider their direction.

I wanted to summarize what I heard at the open mic and give the wider
community a chance to comment.
Questions:
1. Is it in the best interest of the Internet for ARIN to give out 2-byte
ASNs by default?
Should we use up the 2-byte ASNs, or try to conserve them for those who
need them?
2. Should
