[address-policy-wg] 2014-03 Review Period extended until 19 May 2015 (Remove Multihoming Requirement for AS Number Assignments)

Hi Gert,

There are a couple things that I keep reading and hearing in the discussion here.. 

Run-out of 16 bit as's and garbage collection.. 

May I suggest to Job to look into the following to see if that would fit his plan moving forward and is in line with what the community thinks is acceptable. ( personally I don't have a specific preferrence ) 

Exclude the 16 bit AS's from the removal of the multihoming requirement. ( so it stays as it is currently ) and ask the NCC to keep a close look on the number of requested AS's per entity to avoid stockpiling and give them the silent 'right' to question and stop abuse of what we are trying to achieve here.  Also the NCC should include resource garbage collection in the ARC's and if that is not enough, report that to the community during the ripe meeting ncc update. 

The above mentioned suggestion could bring us closer to consensus.. It is not something I have a strong feeling about. It is a suggestion that one can look at. 

Personally I would go for version 1 of the proposal, no limitations and in addition ask the ncc to look close to any abusive behaviour. 

Regards,
Erik Bais
