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.
