I conditionally support this proposal on the condition that there is an accompanying change to the fee schedule such that the second and subsequent AS numbers assigned to a single organization each incur an additional annual fee. I can, sadly, imagine a network architecture which technically justifies the issuance of thousands of AS numbers to a single 3x-small organization. Think Anycast in which each pop gets a unique origin AS number that can be used for troubleshooting when trying to figure out which pop is being preferred through a non-responsive route. I don't object to this per se, but I think the folks who need it should pay more than the flat rate. Under the current fee schedule, the total annual fee including IP addresses and thousands of AS numbers for a 3x-small organization would be $250.
