The document provides the good and clear analysis. I only have a few issues and nits. Minor Issues: - Section 5.1 says a new mechanism “must seek to achieve zero improper blocking” in certain scenarios. “Seek to achieve” is somewhat softer than “must achieve.” I suggest clarifying whether zero improper blocking is a hard requirement, an aspirational design goal, or required only for the specific scenarios analyzed in Section 4. - The terminology section defines both SAV-related information and SAV-specific information. This distinction is useful, but later requirements sometimes refer to both together. A short sentence explaining the expected trust model would help: for example, SAV-related information may come from existing routing/RPKI sources, while SAV-specific information may require new validation or authentication rules. NITS: - Section 3: s/internet/Internet/ - Section 4.1.1: the first sentence "some prefixes may not propagate from a customer to all its providers and/or may not propagate transitively… " is very long, hard to parse. Suggest splitting the sentence. - Section 4.1.2: "a request is received by the anycast server or location": what does it mean by "received by the location"? - Section 5.5: s/for inclusion the table/for inclusion in the table/? - Section 7: s/Private AS was mentioned in Section 1/Private ASes were mentioned in Section 1/ Best Regards, Linda Dunbar
