[rpd] [Last Call] Draft Policy Proposal - Hierarchical Names for New AS-SETs (AFPUB-2026-ASN-001-DRAFT02) and Amendment of Utilisation in Soft Landing (AFPUB-2026-IPv4-002-DRAFT02)

[PAULO MSABA]

Dear PDWG,

I object to this proposal.

In line with what Tshepo, Nonhlanhla, Fundiswa and Thandeka had mentioned,
Policy should follow operational reality, not manufacture obligations where
running networks have not demonstrated a clear need. A registry should
protect uniqueness, accuracy, and continuity. It should not expand its
mandate through increasingly prescriptive control over how operators manage
routing objects.

This proposal therefore represents unnecessary policy and enforcement
creep. In the absence of a clear technical necessity, such matters should
remain with operators and voluntary adoption.

Kind regards
Paulo Msaba
