prop-151: Restricting non-hierarchical as-set

This proposal would restrict APNIC account holders from creating a non-hierarchical as-set, and notify all Members who already have non-hierarchical as-set that it is recommended they move to a hierarchical as-set.

APNIC notes this proposal would restrict APNIC account holders from
creating a non-hierarchical as-set in the APNIC Whois Database.
APNIC would be required to notify all Members who already have a
non-hierarchical as-set to recommend they move to a hierarchical
as-set as defined in Section 5 of RFC2622.

APNIC also notes that an as-set object can only be created by the
maintainer of the ASN that is used in the as-set object, and this
must be the only allowed method for creating a hierarchical as-set
in the APNIC Whois Database.

This proposal may require changes to APNIC systems. If this proposal
reaches consensus and endorsed by the EC, implementation may be
completed within three months.
