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

[Thandeka Mseleku]

Dear colleagues,

I support Kone's observations. The examples from other RIRs show that
hierarchical AS-SET naming can be implemented through operational practices
without necessarily becoming a policy requirement.

Before introducing additional policy obligations, it is important to
demonstrate why existing operational approaches would not adequately
address the concerns raised. Where practical alternatives exist, they
deserve careful consideration.

Policy should remain focused on addressing clearly demonstrated needs
rather than replacing operational decisions that can be managed through
established registry practices.

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

BR,
Thandeka Mseleku
