Re: IPv6 sub-TLA allocation service at NIR.

 | Here are my thoughts for JPNIC to consider. APNIC has a relationship
 | with JPNIC, and JPNIC has a relationship with it's members. APNIC does
 | not have a relationship with JPNIC members. We need to ensure that
 | JPNIC maintains the strength of its relationship with its members.
 | Therefore I feel to make the request process as smooth as possible 
 | JPNIC should participate in the transaction. So APNIC will ask
 | JPNIC questions about the request, and JPNIC will ask its member.
 | 
 | Does this seem reasonable? I'm not suggesting a big change to what
 | you suggest - I just want to make it clear that I think it is
 | important you ask your members these questions, so that you can
 | keep the strong relationship you have with them. 

At the beginning, we think it is difficult to do such things because
of translation problem, lack of experience at JPNIC, and so on. Of
cause, we JPNIC have intention to do as you proposed in the future.
If JPNIC members ask any questions to us, we'll answer to them.

Could you please tell us how APNIC think about the APNIC DB?

1. 
How long prefixes does APNIC expect to be registered ?  Should sub-TLA
holders register SLA level(/48) networks to the APNIC DB?

2. 
We heard that APNIC expects us having responsibility to register the
APNIC DB for sub-TLA holders under JPNIC. We think it is difficult
because in the IPv6 case at the beginning, we do not have any
authority for IPv6 address and do not maintain a public database for
IPv6 addresses.  To encourage sub-TLA holders to maintain their data,
we think both carrots and sticks, such as auto-registration of reverse
lookup coincident with the maintenance of APNIC DB, are necessary.

Yours sincerely,
