I support this part.

Currently I cannot find the equivalent part of section 3.4 of 
APNIC-103-v001 in the web page stated in the proposal:

http://www.apnic.net/services/dns_guide.html

Unless APNIC clearly describes all required procedures in the page 
before Policy SIG in APNIC 25, it is difficult to support this part.

The best I could bend backward is that APNIC posts the content of the 
addendum to the web page to this mailing list.

Without that, it could be blind approval for non-existent procedure.

In the Disadvantages: part in the Pros/Cons section,

|      To ensure that NIRs have enough time to adapt to the changes,
|      the APNIC Secretariat will commit to a six-month notice period
|      between announcing changes to the system and expected
|      implementation by NIRs.

I prefer to change this to:

To ensure that NIRs have enough time to adapt to the changes,
the APNIC Secretariat will commit to at least six-month notice period
                                     ^^^^^^^^
between announcing changes to the system and expected
implementation by NIRs.  The notice period can be extended upon request
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
from APNIC or an NIR.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
