For clarity, ARIN requires either Multihoming _OR_ a Unique Routing Policy. > 4.

This amounts to a Pez dispenser for ASNs. I can claim I plan to do just about anything within 6 months. Is there a problem with preserving the existing policy and simply clarifying that either of the two requirements being satisfied is sufficient? That is, match the ARIN policy of Multihoming _OR_ a Unique Routing Policy? > > > 5.

I disagree. I think putting ASNs into a Pez dispenser has numerous disadvantages. While there are 4 billion ASNs, as we have seen demonstrated before, 4 billion is still a finite number. Owen
