[Wg-ipv6-guide] RE: Draft for ToC 1-5

["Billy MH Cheon" <cmh@nic.or.kr>]

Dear All,

Thank you very much for valuable input and discussions.

I also would like to post the draft for ToC 1-5.
These ToC 1-5 are slightly modified from ToC 1-5 in the document APNIC-105
as the purpose of this WG is to develop the guidelines for IPv6 address management.

Please see below draft ToC 1-5 comparing with APNIC-105 ToC 1-5,
and let me know what you think.

Regards
Billy

----------------------- DRAFT ToC 1 - 5 ----------------------------------

About this document

These guidelines are intended to complement the document Policies for 
IPv6 address space management in the Asia Pacific region, which provides 
for APNIC to publish guidelines relating to specific request evaluation 
requirements and best current practice issues.

These guidelines will be updated from time to time, in consultation with 
the Asia Pacific and global Internet communities, to ensure that they 
remain appropriate to the current addressing environment.

Table of contents

1. Introduction
--------------------

These guidelines are developed within the APNIC community, and are
consistent with the goals and policies applicable to IPv6 address
space management. They are intended to assist organisations
requesting IPv6 address space only.

Nothing in these guidelines should be considered to replace or modify
any of the specific policies defined in other APNIC documents.

2. Scope
-------------

This document applies to the management of global IPv6 public address
space in the Asia Pacific region. 

Where practical, the guidelines in this document are expressed in
relation to types of connectivity, rather than to specific
technologies.

This document does not apply to IPv4, Multicast, or Private Address
Space, or Autonomous System numbers. It should be read in conjunction
with other APNIC documents, particularly Policies for IPv6 address
space management in the Asia Pacific region.

3. Additional guidance
---------------------------

These guidelines are not intended to be exhaustive. Additional
guidance and examples are available from the help information
available for each APNIC request form and in FAQs and other
information on the APNIC web site:

 Resource Guides
 http://www.apnic.net/services

 APNIC FAQs
 http://www.apnic.net/info/faq

4. Goals of address space management
-----------------------------------------

In this document, all reference to the goals of  address space
management refer to the goals described in Policies for IPv6
address space management in the Asia Pacific region, namely:

 * uniqueness;
 * registration;
 * aggregation;
 * conservation;
 * fairness; and
 * Minimized Overhead.

=> I have added the last one according to the document
     IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy.
 
5. Application of guidelines
---------------------------------

This document is primarily intended to guide ISPs when making
assignments to their customers or requesting address space from
APNIC. The issues discussed in this document reflect many of the
considerations used by APNIC in evaluating requests for initial allocations
and subsequent allocations. 

It is intended that NIRs will either adopt these or similar
guidelines for their own members.
