Hi all,

I agree with the suggested approach from the chair.

Raphael's earlier post was really helpful in understanding the situation. Thank you Raphael.

I¹m having an offline discussion with Aftab, basically the issue he¹s
trying to address is that new ISPs in small countries/cities may not meet
the day 1 requirements for an ASN, but however should be eligible since
they will require an ASN to peer/multihome at some point in the future
(which I do agree)

I sympathize with this too.

I can see cases where an applicant plans to be multihomed but not multi-homed at the time of the application.


May I clarify with APNIC hosmaster whether :

 a. It is a must for an applicant to be multihomed at the time of
    submitting the request

 b. If an applicant can demonstrate a plan to be multihomed in
    immediate future, it is not a must they are physically multihomed
    at the time of submitting a request

In case of JPNIC, it is b.

 - We approve the ASN assignments if an applicant can demonstrate the
   *plan* to be multihomed within three months.


I wonder taking approach b (accept a plan to be multihomed) addresses the problem described by Raphael (and Aftab) ?




Regards,
Izumi

Skeeve,

As acting chair, I'm neutral for each proposal, but even for me, proposed text sounds 
everybody can get AS by just saying "I need it within 6 months" without any 
explanation howto use it.
If your intension is covering more usecases, but not allowing for everyone, can 
you tweak proposed text?

4. Proposed policy solution
---------------------------

     An organization is eligible for an ASN assignment if it:
      - Is planning to use it within next 6 months

Dean,

What you are saying is your rose coloured view of this.

"You say they can get an ASN anytime they need one for operation purposes".  I 
am saying that the case exists that operators will want to do this - WITHOUT the 
requirement for being multi-homed.

The requirement for being multi-homed, 'as written' causes members to either 
lie to provide false information or find a way around the restriction (using HE 
or someone else) to choose how they wish to manage their network.

You choosing to ignore this use case or situation doesn't make it go away 
because you don't understand why they would want to manage their network in 
that way.

I believe we've entered the point of diminishing returns here.

It has been shown multiple times in this thread that there is no barrier to 
getting an ASN if one is required under the current policy.  This fact has been 
supported by the current hostmasters.  Operators currently have the freedom to 
choose how to manage their networks, they can choose to get an ASN anytime they 
need one for operational purposes.

There is no change in policy required.

I strongly oppose this policy as written.
