[sig-policy] update regarding prop-061

[Philip Smith <pfs@cisco.com>]

Hi everyone,

FYI, RFC5398 has just been published by the IETF. In it, it states that:

---
   IANA has reserved a contiguous block of 16 Autonomous System numbers
   from the unallocated number range within the "16-bit" number set for
   documentation purposes, namely 64496 - 64511, and a contiguous block
   of 16 Autonomous System numbers from the "32-bit" number set for
   documentation, namely 65536 - 65551.  These reservations have been
   documented in the IANA AS Number Registry [IANA.AS].
---

This reservation has been recorded in
http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/.

As one of the authors of prop-061, I believe that this RFC more than
adequately covers the modest request which Tomoya Yoshida, Gaurab Raj
Upadhaya and I made in prop-061.

As indicated by the Policy SIG chairs at the end of October, there is no
longer any need for prop-061 to be implemented by APNIC. I'd like to
thank the RFC author, Geoff Huston, for shepherding RFC5398 to its
successful publication.

Best wishes,

philip
