The way APNIC operates ...
Hello,
Recently, I raised issues regarding the APNIC funding scheme,
and the way APNIC operates. My assumption was that the fund
needed is depending on the way APNIC operates.
(1)
What is the point to switch AS# ?
The AS# issue is still not clear for me.
There should be a stronger statement from
APNIC/IANA regarding this issue.
Case:
The user uplinks are to ISP#1, ISP#2.
And the user asks an AS# from ISP#1.
Later, the user switch from ISP#1 to ISP#3.
Must (should) they change AS# ?
All ISP#1, ISP#2, and ISP#3 are APNIC members.
More complicated:
If ISP#4, ISP#5 is in North America,
and the user switchs to them.
Should they change AS# ?

Does APNIC really inform that there is a possibility
for a waiver ? I know a case, where APNIC did not
inform that a waiver is possible.
Nevertheless, I am against the waiver policy in
regions with more than one APNIC member.
- It is not fair, if one pays but not the other one.
- Where does APNIC get fund if too many asks for
a waiver ?

I did not say that the users are not happy with APNIC.
They may be not happy with the whole system/IANA.
This may leed to a mutiny of IANA's root and numbers.
INTRANET is just a start.
Some (most) are very smart.
They did reject X.25, X.400, X.500, and any other
TELCO's related solution in the past.
They may reject how IANA operates in the future!
until next week,
