APNIC EC returns "IPv4 address transfers" to Policy SIG
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear colleagues

The APNIC EC (Executive Council), at its meeting on 21 May 2009,
returned prop-050, "IPv4 address transfers", to the Policy SIG for
further discussion.  Minutes from this meeting will be available after
they have been adopted at the June 2009 EC meeting.

Below is the official notification from the EC:

    This is a response to the Policy Development Manager from the
    APNIC Executive Council.

    The APNIC Policy SIG Chair formally requested the APNIC EC to
    endorse Proposal-50 on the 20th May.

    According to the APNIC Policy Development Process: "The EC, in
    their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked
    to endorse the consensus proposals arising from the OPM and the
    SIG mailing lists for implementation at the next EC meeting. In
    reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer
    proposals back to the SIG for further discussion with clearly
    stated reasons."

    In its meeting of the 21st May the APNIC Executive Council has
    decided to refer Proposal-50 back to the Policy SIG.  The reason
    for this referral is that the EC is not of the opinion that the
    proposal has gathered a clear consensus in favour of the policy,
    and the EC notes that the proposal, taken in isolation, has
    engendered significant concerns within the community relating to
    the adequacy of safeguards against potential abuse as a
    consequence of implementation this policy.

    regards,

    Geoff Huston
    Executive Secretary to the APNIC EC
    for the APNIC EC
