Dear all,
Thank you for the many comments that have been received on the
proposal to abolish the IPv6 per address fee for NIRs. This mail is
simply intended to clarify some issues of the policy development
process and how they may affect the progress of this discussion.
By the terms of the APNIC Policy Development Process, each policy
proposal must pass five steps. The proposal currently under
discussion [prop-028-v001] has now passed the first two steps:
1. Discussion before the Open Policy Meeting (OPM), and
2. Consensus at the OPM
It is now subject to the following three steps:
3. Discussion after the OPM - this current 8 week comment period
4. Confirming consensus - where the appropriate SIG Chair will need to
determine whether the proposal has reached consensus, or whether
substantial objections mean that consensus has not been
confirmed, and
5. Endorsement from the Executive Council
In this process, the discussions on the mailing list are given the
same degree of importance as the discussion in the physical meeting.
In the final stage of the process, the EC may adopt a proposal for
implementation or refer a proposal back to the SIG for further
discussion. The EC may also decide to refer the proposal to a formal
vote of adoption by the APNIC members.
Finally, in the present discussion, there has been a suggestion of
making changes to the policy development process. To be effective,
these suggestions would need to be formally proposed and passed
through the current process, as summarised above. The full details of
the current Policy development Process are at:

form are at:

Save

[With my APNIC EC hat on]
The new membership fee proposal for NIRs will be put up (by APNIC
Secretariat/EC after enough discussion and consultation) for formal
voting
by all the members on-site or through online voting on MyAPNIC. I
don't
think it can be blocked by the people going to APNIC meetings. So,
don't
worry too much on this part. :)

Stephan,
Out of 2006, 2016 and 2026 the most realistic target should
be 2006 and this is a major assumption to take this interim
solution.
We might have some unexpected delay, but in my mind, a
detailed proposal to be raised for discussion at APNIC21,
Perth Feb 2006, and to seek the membership concensus in the
next, APNIC22.
I am sad to see that you like to regard us NIR people doing
something badly political or playing a selfish process just
for our short-term benefit. We need to keep on convincing
you that we are reasonable enough.
With the EC hat on from now on,
For the process, APNIC Secretariat is aware that concensus
in the on-site meeting is not enough to implement it into
the operation, while APNIC want more and more people come
to on-site meeting. That is why you have the room for
objection on the mailing list.
Right now one or two strong objection are seen on the list
against on-site concensus, they may cease or we have some
more objections. Such situation will be reported and
reviewed by the EC for its endorsement.
That's our process which is already in effect. IMHO
membership vote for all policy proposals would be unreasonably
heavy, but I'd like to have opinion from everyone.
Kind Regards,
Akinori

favour.
