I support this proposal by adding multi-homed to be optional but organization should share their future plan of multi-homing to get ASN.

Version 3 of prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria,
reached consensus at the APNIC 40 Open Policy Meeting and later at the
APNIC Member Meeting (AMM).
This proposal will now move to the next step in the APNIC Policy
Development Process and is being returned to the Policy SIG mailing list
for the final Comment Period.
At the end of this period the Policy SIG Chairs will evaluate comments
made and determine if the consensus reached at APNIC 40 still holds. The
Chairs may extend the Comment Period to a maximum of eight (8) weeks to
allow further discussion.
If consensus holds, the Chair of the Policy SIG will ask the Executive
Council to endorse the proposal for implementation.

prop-114-v003: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria
-----------------------------------------------------------

1. Problem statement
--------------------
The current ASN assignment policy states two eligibility criteria and
that both criteria should be fulfilled in order to obtain an ASN. The
policy seems to imply that both requirements i.e. multi-homing and
clearly defined single routing policy must be met simultaneously,
this has created much confusion in interpreting the policy.
As a result organizations have either provided incorrect information
to get the ASN or barred themselves from applying where they still
have a valid justification for obtaining an ASN.
2. Objective of policy change
-----------------------------
In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN
assignment by providing alternate criteria to obtaining an ASN.
3. Situation in other regions
-----------------------------
ARIN:
It is not mandatory but optional to be multi-homed in order get ASN
RIPE:
Policy to remove multi-homing requirement is currently in discussion
and the current phase ends 12 February 2015 (awaiting Chair decision)
Policy - https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03
LACNIC:
Only inter-connect is mandatory not multi-homing
AFRINIC:
It is mandatory to be multi-homed in order to get ASN.
4. Proposed policy solution
---------------------------
An organisation is eligible for an ASN assignment if:
- they are currently multi-homed, OR
- have previous allocated provider independent address space by
APNIC, AND intend to multi-home in the future
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
-----------------------------
Advantages:
By adding the additional criteria of Guidelines managed by APNIC
Secretariat, this would enable the Secretariat to make decisions
based on common or rare use cases, but that may still be a valid
request.
Disadvantages:
It may be perceived that this policy would enable members to obtain
ASN’s more easily, and in return cause faster consumption of ASN’s
in the region. Given the relative ease of obtaining an ASN with
‘work around’ methods, we do not perceive this will actually have
any effect.
6. Impact on resource holders
-----------------------------
No impact on existing resource holders.
