There has been 2 suggestions to this scary (automation) AS request that Nick might use when the policy comes into place ... Pay per AS or limit the number of AS'n per organisation.

Another possibility would be that n ASN can be assigned to an Organisation without proving any need and any further assignments have to prove need. How much n should be is open to debate of course. This should be more flexible than a fixed limit (who knows, maybe there's an operator that needs >1000 ASN), it also addresses the possibility of the AGM de-fanging a "charging" implementation without the need to go back and make a new policy. rgds, Sascha Luck
