[rpd] policy proposal for removing Multihoming requirement (CPM 7.4.2) - volunteers ?

[Saul Stein]

That makes a lot of sense.
I too have never understood this requirement.

An ISP startup:
I am an ISP,
I want to be ready to peer,
I want to get my infrastructure setup correctly from day 1
Why shouldn't I be able to get an AS number?

Hi Mark,

If I'm correct, all the other RIRs already removed the multihoming 
requirement for getting an AS.

Jordi

    Reading emails of today, I see that this is a recommendation from the
    staff at AfriNIC. There are abundant AS Numbers and I believe that if
    more "end points" and small ISP's had ASN's - then it would be easier
    for these organisations to eventually peer. This would be good for local
    connectivity (usually faster connectivity and lower prices) and deemed
    to be bad for internet connectivity monopolies - though they eventually
    also win as there is simply much more traffic. (Everyone wins).

    Jordi, what happens in other RIR's - I presume you would already know
    the answer?

    Anyway - I like the idea of a policy that follows this recommendation.
