I think organisations that have obtained portable address ranges from RIRs should have the liberty to use public ASNs from day one (if they want to) regardless of whether they are single homed or multihomed. Also, a lot of times organisations get more than one Internet link (for redundancy etc) from the same provider so theoretically they are "not multihomed" as they use the same provider. I am not sure if the current proposal allows for assignment of a public ASN for the above situation? If not, then this should be brought into scope because controlling traffic and AS-loops using private ASNs becomes challenging for organisations that have single-homed-but-multiple-links-to-same-provider-scenarios Regards, Usman
