Dear SIG members

Below is a summary of discussions on the proposal to date. We strongly
encourage you to begin discussions on the mailing list before APNIC 26.

Regards,
Randy and Jian


Proposal summary
----------------

This is a proposal to update the criteria for recognising new National
Internet Registries (NIRs) in the APNIC region.

Proposed changes include:

    - Removing the need for government endorsement of a proposed NIR

    - Requiring the APNIC membership to vote on whether to accept a
      proposed NIR

    - Adding requirements for the composition of the proposed NIR's
board
      structure

    - Allowing economies with an APNIC operational office or branch
      office to be eligible to apply for an NIR.

This proposal has not been submitted to any other RIR.
