Thank you, ytti.
So let's start with the basics. Does the following text allow the NCC to meet the needs of network operators today?
"A new AS number is only assigned when the network architecture
I would be more edxplicit and more flexible here, by adding e.g. or project
has a need that cannot be satisfied with an existing AS number."
Looking at SDN stuff and pilot projects or testbeds, or even trainings or workshops, I can see the need to interconnect such projects with the 'real' net and to use globally unique AS numbers. I do understanf that "network architecture" can be interpreted as a rather wide and flexible term, but we should try to provide as good guidance as we can to support the evaluation of requests by the IPRAs.

There will be more policy text. But again, let's start with -- and agree on -- the basics.
Thanks! David
