So your suggestion would be to stall this proposal until we know what 
comes out of the next AGM, and then see if we need the clause in question
at all, anymore?

What if the AGM decides to bring back a yearly recurring charge for ASNs,
we loosen up our policy, the AGM decides to remove the charge once again,
and Nick No Hats decides to send in 4 billion ASN requests to the NCC
(I recall that it was you initially who was worried about the potential
for abuse here, so I'm slightly confused what to make out of this now)?

Given that we only have indirect influence on the AGM decisions, I can
see why the proposers wanted to have a safety net in the parts we get
to control...
