<p dir="auto">Nor is the choice simply between DRAFT02 and “zero protection.”</p>

<p dir="auto">Hmmm… did Tshepo himself showed WHY this protection is needed?</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; color: #777777;">
<p dir="auto">The broader objection therefore remains valid: the proposal creates a mandatory naming restriction</p>

<p dir="auto">YEs, which the rest of the RIRs also agrees too.</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; color: #777777;">
<p dir="auto">and then relies on discretionary exceptions to address the operational problems caused by that restriction.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">What Operational problems?<br>
Please be terse and concise in showing all those you claim but haven’t yet show as per my Q7 that’s unanswered.</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; color: #777777;">
<p dir="auto">That is not predictability.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The CURRENT STATE is UNpredictability (As Tshepo himself showed!), you now, on a predictable naming proposal claim UNpredictability as part of your object? That same Predictability that Tshepo in lots of many words gave the same conclusion after I re-read his emails this morning?</p>
<p dir="auto">Please be again terse and concise in showing the two differences, given Tshepo’s concessions showing the current state’s problems himself that you are proposing predictable and not to stay with unpredictable given your own super-predictability requirements that wasn’t completely agreed on in other previous discussions nor other RIRs that have much beter predictability using the exact same mechanism, than AfriNIC has today given your opposition to predictability just to stay in a UNpredictable current state in your objection to the much more predictable DRAFT02? (I don’t expect humans to understand this paragraph)</p>

<p dir="auto">It is administrative control presented as flexibility.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I’ll call that what it is AGAINST Claude and ChatGPT’s advice and after I fired my lawyer given his response to reading my email:</p>
<p dir="auto">Nonhlanhla: I’ll state that, unless you can beyond ANY DOUBT <em>prove</em> the contrary, that is so far from the truth I smell it’s badness from the other side of the city with the storm strength down winds.</p>
<p dir="auto">Firstly: it is NOT flexibility as you might claim, that is the first part of the lie, as it’s making things LESS-flexible, ie. you MUST include an ASN in the AS-SETs</p>
<p dir="auto">Next: Administrative control??? But you and your fellow objecters WANT a full blown-no-exceptions-god-like-no-errors-everything-guaranteed atomic operations type administrative control??</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ll state it plainly for the humans reading: That sentence is contradictory to the rest of the emails by the objecters.</p>
<p dir="auto">But, since you are going to propose an properly written rewording of the proposal you are objecting too, <em>PLEASE</em> SHOW using operational examples and terms in excruciatingly terse details how you dream up that contradictory line given the rest of your email that sorta object to the counter points?</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; color: #777777;">
<p dir="auto">For these reasons, I support Tshepo and continue to object to the proposal as written.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Just a clarification again, which parts of his objections that he has NOT conceded to others nor shown in his own words the case FOR the proposal again, I’m confused now by the swapping of arguments.</p>
<p dir="auto">Yours operationally needing the hierarchical AS-SETs<br>
