Hi Philip,


Thanks for explaining. I agree to remove the word "plan" if that's what
the common definition is.

I still feel "must announce" is quite a strong statement though.

I think the level of commitment required should be consistent with
other resources, so how about adding the word "demonstrate"?

It's used in defining criteria for all APNIC resources, i.e, IPv4
allocation, small mult-home assigment and ASN (see below) and hope this
would address your concern.

The proposed phrase would be:

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

*demonstrate* a detailed plan for use of a /22 within a year; and

small multi-homed assignment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 :
is currently multihomed with provider-based addresses, or *demonstrates*
a plan to multihome within one month; and
agrees to renumber out of previously assigned address space.

ASN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An organisation is eligible for an ASN assignment if it:
 :
 :
An organisation will also be eligible if it can *demonstrate* that it
will meet the above criteria upon receiving an ASN (or within a
reasonably short time thereafter).
