I like this, but couldn't we refrase the last sentence to be "The intent is 
to start using the AS-number within [b] period of time, if that proves to 
not have been the case at [b] the AS-number will be revoked."

Basically if they have no intent to use it for [b] we might revoke it 
immediatly. But what if that is "their" intent but it still does not happen?
