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

[Thandeka Mseleku]

Dear colleagues,

I agree with the view expressed by Asamkele and others that this proposal
has not demonstrated why registry enforcement is the appropriate solution.
The discussion continues to assume that introducing mandatory hierarchical
naming is the only effective way to address operational concerns, yet it
has not shown why less restrictive approaches would be insufficient.

I also believe the discussion should remain focused on the technical and
policy merits of the proposal rather than assumptions about how
participants prepare or present their contributions. Whether a contribution
is concise, detailed, or drafted with writing tools does not change the
validity of the arguments it contains. Each submission should be evaluated
on its substance.

For these reasons, I remain opposed to AFPUB-2026-ASN-001-DRAFT02.

BR,
Thandeka Mseleku
