I support this proposal. This can solve the problem in some situations that companies
are able to make BGP connections with operators only when they have their own ASN. _____ Jessica Shen CNNIC 发件人: sig-policy-boun...@lists.apnic.net [mailto:sig-policy-boun...@lists.apnic.net] 代表 Masato Yamanishi 发送时间: 2015年2月4日 1:58 收件人: sig-policy@lists.apnic.net 主题: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria Dear SIG members The proposal "prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria" has been sent to the Policy SIG for review.

Problem statement -------------------- The current ASN assignment policy dictates two eligibility criteria and both should be fulfilled in order to get an ASN. The policy seems to imply that both requirements i.e. multi-homing and clearly defined single routing policy must be met simultaneously, this has created much confusion in interpreting the policy. As a result organizations have either provided incorrect information to get the ASN or barred themselves from applying. 2. Objective of policy change ----------------------------- In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN assignment by removing multi-homing requirement for the organization. 3. Situation in other regions ----------------------------- ARIN: It is not mandatory but optional to be multi-homed in order get ASN RIPE: Policy to remove multi-homing requirement is currently in discussion and the current phase ends 12 February 2015 Policy - <https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03> https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03 LACNIC: only inter-connect is mandatory not multi-homing AFRINIC: It is mandatory to be multi-homed in order to get ASN. 4. Proposed policy solution --------------------------- An organization is eligible for an ASN assignment if it: - Is planning to use it within next 6 months 5. Advantages / Disadvantages ----------------------------- Advantages: Removing the mandatory multi-homing requirement from the policy will make sure that organizations are not tempted to provide wrong information in order to fulfil the criteria of eligibility. Disadvantages: No disadvantage. 6. Impact on resource holders ----------------------------- No impact on existing resource holders. 7. References -------------
