Re: [sig-policy]Proposal to lower the minimum allocation size
Many thanks for your postings and feedback. At the Secretariat, through
many informal channels like training and helpdesk, similar comments and
concerns to those expressed by VNNIC and APJII have been raised.
The Secretariat will make a proposal at the next Open Policy meeting
which it is hoped will address these concerns. A draft document will
be released for comment early January (one month before the meeting).
The current thinking is to lower the minimum allocation size to a /21
and to change the criteria to:
* have used a /23 from their upstream provider or demonstrate an
immediate need for a /23;
* demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a /22 within a year;
Your feedback on this would be very helpful and timely!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,
Anne

> On Address SIG of 46th Ripe Meeting ( 1-5 September 2003 ), there was a formal proposal to lower the minimum allocation size from /20 to /21. It mostly had consensus on this issue. Now Ripe already set the minimum allocation size /21 for new address blocks (83.0.0.0/8 and 84.0.0.0/8) that they obtained from IANA.
> This proposal is issued base on the foundation that many new startup LIRs can't get a PA allocation (due to not being able to prove /22 utilization). They use PI space for themselves and their customers to get started until being qualified to obtain portable allocation.In the end, we have multiple PI networks plus a PA in the routing table

> Not being able to prove /22 utilization is also a problem of Vietnamese new ISPs. On behalf of Internet Community in Viet Nam we would like to post this information onto "sig-nir" and "sig-policy" mailing list with the ambition to receive many precious comments feeded back from you, especially from others NIRs.
