The removal of any requirement for organisations to be multihomed
Yes,
The removal of any needs based allocation for IPv4 address allocation.
Not exactly.
The proposed wording states:
Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations
An organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed or
inter-connected with provider (ISP)-based addresses, or demonstrates
a plan to advertise the prefixes within 3 months.
Can the authors clarify that their intended state is one where an LIR
is only required to demonstrate a plan to advertise the addresses
rather than demonstrate an actual need for them?
Let me give you the example from current policy text:
Current Section 3.3 para 2:
Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and 50% within one year.
It means all LIRs who already got the prefixes under this policy used 50% of the address space within an year? Because thats what they said while submitting the application. Right?
I don't see any reason to force LIR to provide justification that how they will use the prefixes with in 3 months or an year and now we are not talking about /18s /17s any more. Or do you want to continue with fabricated demonstrated need :)
