RE: [Wg-ipv4-guide] Proposed Modification for APNIC Guidelines forIPv4 Allocation and Assignment Requests



Dear Mars Chih-hu Wei,

Hostmasters have reviewed your email and have some comments.

To make the guidelines more suitable for both DSL and cable, any references to
"head-end" can be replaced with "location", and "homes-passed" can be removed, as it does not really apply to DSL.

We suggested that the growth rates include 6 month projection also, as this is
asked for on the application form (now, 6 month and 12 month).

Maybe you could draft the proposal taking into account all the feedback and we
can all review it again so it is clear?

We agree that you could post to the SIG mailing list in the name of the working
group.

Regards,
Tim.

In the original statement of the guideline in 10.2 section, it shows "the projected number of subscribers within 3 months" in item 2 and "projected number of subscribers within 12 months (if the projection is significantly higher than that predicted by the growth rate, then an additional explanation will be required)" in item 4. We think these two items are both talking about the growth rate in the future but in different conditions so It seems to be better to maintain the same period range as same as the original with "3 months" and "12 months". We are confused with your suggestion about "12 months" in item 2. Would you please clarify the reason for the suggestion? Or we will correct the item 2 to "3 months" as the original because this is not the key point of this proposal.

Due to the deadline of CFP for APNIC 19 will be soon on Jan 19, we should put the modification proposal into the Address Policy SIG mailing list before the deadline. Should we post it in the name of this working group?
