"a notice of application will be posted for at least 7 days on the
APNIC website"
I also have some concerns for this point.
As Geoff already mentioned, it conflicts with current policy for
confidentiality between APNIC and members,
and the effect is not so clear.
I am comfortable if this isn't in the proposal because of the
confidentiality problem and also because I trust the APNIC and other
hostmasters to do the right thing if/when these applications are
lodged.
I expect that statistics of the number of these applications will be
made available (with confidentiality preserved) and that the
hostmaster staff would alert senior management, the EC and this group
if major abuse appeared to be happening. If Terry is willing to modify
his proposal it starts to look as if we have something that many of us
can agree on.
