Please support this propsal, that inventing fake multihoming has an end.
Agreed. But I'd prefer if we keep this one sentence from the old policy: """ When requesting an AS Number, the routing policy of the Autonomous System must be provided. The new unique routing policy should be defined in RPSL language, as used in the RIPE Database. """ Rationale for keeping the sentence: even if it is one's first ASN, and even if that first AS also is single-homed (or not), it is helpful to have the routing policy for that AS documented in the RIPE DB. Entire new policy text: """ Legitimate holders of an IP address prefix assigned or allocated directly by the RIPE NCC, may be assigned their first AS Number without providing a needs justification. Additional AS Numbers may only be assigned when a new external routing policy is required for a multihomed network. When requesting an AS Number, the routing policy of the Autonomous System must be provided. The new unique routing policy should be defined in RPSL language, as used in the RIPE Database. """ Removing needs justification does not equate removal of documentation obligation. Kind regards, Job
