OK, my concern was about the Charter saying "either the same or
different ISPs" while the draft says "more than one ISP".  

This sounds conflicting to me and I don't know how many prefixes my
site-multihomed network is supposed to have.

Well, that first depends on the first question (same ISPs or not) and
then I would like to know where my prefix(es) come from.

Is there any restriction on the length of the prefix for a network to be
considered site-multihomed ?

Thanks,
