Hi Izumi,

I see what you mean and tried to play with some words, but I felt
putting a word that makes it sound like a requirement gives quite a
strong impression.

"plan" doesn't make any requirement at all, as I pointed out before.
Apart from in Japan, it seems. ;-)

Yes, I was hoping "plan" could be avoided in the updated text also.

In retrospect, I think your new words of:

   The LIR should also plan to announce the allocation as a single
aggregated block in the inter-domain routing system within two years.

should be replaced with:

   The LIR must also announce the allocation as a single aggregated
   block in the inter-domain routing system within two years.

Just delete the word "plan", as a plan is nothing more than a vague
statement of some future intention which may or may not come to pass.
Also change "should" to "must" - that's a commitment now!

I like that. I'd fully support the proposal if it is amended as you've presented.

Cheers,
Jonny.
