[lir-wg] AS Number Policy - continued

  Tanya,

>What would you suggest for a definition of "not in use"?

  1st attempt (formally):

	"For an extended period of time [a]
	 not used for the unique identification of one or more routing
	 processes and/or relationships, on any EGP speaking device.
	 No intent to used the AS number for any such purpose within 
	 an extended period of time [b]."

  [a] period t.b.d. by the community, but not shorter than 6 month
  [b] period t.b.d. by the community, but not shorter than 12 month


  2nd attempt (down to earth approach :-)

	"Not used at all, no intent to use, simply sitting on as desk;
	 or the entity no longer being aware of it's AS# holdership."

>I agree that we do need to define "not in use".

  :-)
  And by the way I agree that the community should _encourage_
  recycling of AS numbers!
