[rpd] [Last Call] Draft Policy Proposal - Hierarchical Names for New AS-SETs (AFPUB-2026-ASN-001-DRAFT02)

[Mphoentle Mokheseng]

Hi Jaco,

Your argument creates a false choice: either support the proposal or be suspected of enabling attacks. That is not fair, and it is not how consensus should be assessed.

Your operational example is useful evidence. It does not give anyone authority to assign motives to objectors or to treat operator experience as a mandate over the whole process.

The question is not whether hierarchical naming can help. It can. The question is whether that benefit justifies mandatory registry policy, and whether the scope and consequences have been properly tested.

Please address the objection without turning disagreement into suspicion.

I remain opposed.

Regards,
Mphoentle
