Hi Shaila,

The proposal does not put a time frame on when the said temporary
assignment must be returned...

Is there a chance that the proposal could create a loophole for an entity
to not return the said temporary assignment due continued need for the
resouece for 5 or even 10 years..?

I have a problem with the " other purposes as APNIC deems appropriate where
a long-term assignment may not be feasible"

The purposes that are not defined open room for abuse...  imagine a
temporary assignment that an entity refuses to return and goes to Court to
tell the judge that if APNIC was to recover the resource, millions of
people will loose connectivity which is against human rights and the said
Judge  decides to issue an interim order against APNIC since they dont have
an idea what APNIC is or what is the whole thing all about.

In fact an entity could claim APNIC is illegally recovering the temporary
resource which will cause total outage of the VPN server where people are
using as VPN jumpbox to avoid censorship from some government... and
recovery will expose those people to the said authoritarian government.

Folks have become to creative and subtle that its extremely important to be
specific when it comes to drafting of policies.

Lots of dishonest folks out there.

Cheers
Noah
