A proposed change to RIPE Document ripe-525, "Autonomous System (AS) Number Assignment Policies" is now available for discussion.

You can find the full proposal at:

I support this proposal. However I suggest a small change in the text: "A new AS Number should only be assigned when there is a technical requirement that cannot be satisfied with an existing or private AS Number." should be "A new AS Number should only be assigned when there is a technical requirement that cannot be satisfied with an existing AS Number." Since we arrived in the 32bit-ASN century, private ASN should not matter anymore, i.e. noone should be forced to use private ASN permanently. Re hoarding: If someone thinks hoarding of AS206832 to AS207363 is useful, so be it... -- Fredy Kuenzler Init7 (Switzerland) Ltd.
