[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)

[Thandeka Mseleku]

Dear PDWG,

I remain opposed to this proposal.

The fact that multiple community members express similar concerns should
not diminish the substance of those concerns. What matters is whether the
arguments are technically and operationally sound.

I continue to believe that policy should reflect demonstrated operational
needs rather than introduce obligations that have not been shown to be
necessary. Registry policies should preserve stability, accuracy, and
neutrality without expanding prescriptive requirements where voluntary
operational practices are already sufficient.

For that reason, I do not believe this proposal has demonstrated a
compelling justification for the additional requirements it introduces.
Maintaining operator flexibility while ensuring sound resource governance
remains the more proportionate approach.

BR,
