Summary of discussion to date - -----------------------------

- There was general support for this proposal

- It was asked whether section 4.3 still requires the organization concerned to be an APNIC account holder?

- There was concern about "Small multihoming assignments" being specified as grounds for a /24 unless it's explicitly associated with either Internet Exchange Points or Critical infrastructure. In response it was pointed out that new sites will require IPv4 and that it should not be up to APNIC, or RIRs, to decide if they are 'worthy' of this.
