>>>

>>> 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 providing alternate criteria to obtaining an ASN.
>>>
>>>
>>> 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 (awaiting Chair
>>>     decision)
>>>
>>>     Policy - 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:
>>>
>>>      - they are currently multi-homed OR
>>>
>>>      - meet one of the other criteria in the guidelines managed by the
>>>        APNIC Secretariat
>>>
>>>
>>> 5. Advantages / Disadvantages
>>> -----------------------------------------
>>>
>>> Advantages:
>>>
>>>     By adding the additional criteria of Guidelines managed by APNIC
>>>     Secretariat, this would enable the Secretariat to make decisions
>>>     based on common or rare use cases, but that may still be a valid
>>>     request.
>>>
>>> Disadvantages:
>>>
>>>     It may be perceived that this policy would enable members to obtain
>>>     ASN’s more easily, and in return cause faster consumption of ASN’s
>>>     in the region.  Given the relative ease of obtaining an ASN with
>>>     ‘work around’ methods, we do not perceive this will actually have
>>>     any effect.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> 6. Impact on resource holders

>>>
>>>
>>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>>     (to be created as a numbered document by APNIC)

>>>     The below are example of guidelines that could be considered for
>>>     alternate needs justification.
>>>
>>>     The intention to multi-home in the future
>>>
>>>     The applicant is participating in elastic fabrics where the
>>>     requirements to connect to ‘on demand’ service providers may require
>>>     ASN/BGP connectivity
>>>
>>>     Regional limitation of obtaining multi-homing connectivity in the
