Dear all, I'm happy to see the proposal has been updated, I think it'll make discussion easier.
I have some questions: 1/ How much trouble are those ~ 100 prefixes actually causing the community? I'm sure we all agree that its not fair that these entities are announcing space that wasn't assigned / allocated to them; and probably not paying the bill either... and it would be cool if those 100 prefixes can be assigned to elgible end users through the normal process; but that's not worth infinite effort. 1a/ What does APNIC currently do to 'reclaim' or 'clean up' space that APNIC would like to assign to an eligible enduser, but is currently being announce by some unrelated third party? What is today's process? 1b/ Why should it be APNIC itself that makes the ROAs for unassigned space? Perhaps the process should remain as-is: APNIC assigns space to an enduser, and the enduser themselves can create a ROA if they need to 'reclaim' the space. Using ROAs to supress rogue announcements is great, but this mechanism can be used either before and after assignment. I think the answer to this question in part will derive from how we feel about (1) and what APNIC does in (1a). 2/ Has the community considered whether this proposal should be implemented under the current 'production' APNIC TAL, or perhaps a new TAL should be instantiated (let's call it the "APNIC-UNASSIGNED TAL"). An advantage of using a separate TAL is that may address some concerns about the RIRs operational involvement in routing. Operators would need to explicitly opt-in into receiving ROAs for the unassigned/reserved space.
