This proposal has improved substantially since v3.0, and it is long overdue. While I support it as-is, I have two comments. - the "temporary" status of the proposal has been changed to permanent. This is a good move, and merely recognition that reclaiming address space is an enormously difficult challenge, even if assigned on a temporary basis. - while a requirement for multihoming is useful, it should be made clear during implementation that this is not necessarily a requirement for multihoming using ASNs and BGP on the public Internet (however we care to define that term). Private interconnection to third parties is also a fully legitimate justification for assignment of provider independent number resources.
