Colleagues,
Here's the chair's summary report of the last Policy SIG held during APNIC
21 last week.
The Policy SIG had two sessions with 56 people attending the first and 60
for the second session.
The jabber chat had 18 participants online.
There was one proposal in this meeting. Proposal 032-v002: 4-byte AS
number, proposed by Geoff Huston proposes AS assignment transition in three
phases.
-Commencing on 1 January 2007, the registry will process applications for
32-bit only AS numbers upon specific request. 16-bit only AS numbers will be
assigned by default.
-Commencing on 1 January 2009,the registry will assign 32-bit only AS
numbers by default. 16-bit only AS numbers will be assigned upon specific
request.
-Commencing on 1 January year 2010, the registry will assign from the
extended AS number space.
The proposal reached consensus in the Policy SIG and also endorsed at the
AMM on Friday.
This proposal will proceed into the next phase of 8 week mailing list
discussion.
Leslie Daigle, chair of the IAB introduced the IETF and IAB in here
presentation.
There was also an IP policy update presented by APNIC secretariat and led to
us have a discussion on the proposal 20-001, Application of HD- ratio to
IPv4. A decision on this proposal had been pending as there was no further
support received via the mailing lists. It was first discussed in APNIC 18
and also updated in APNIC 19. An LIR survey result was shared at the APNIC
20 and also a lot of discussion in the mailing list.
From the discussion concerns were raised about impact of the applying HD
ratio to IPv4 proposal and since no clear support was received it was agreed
for the chair to take this discussion for a final 1 month discussion in the
mailing list. From there we can decide whether to abandon the proposal or
consider a next step.
There was an informational presentation on IPv6 portable assignment for
multihoming presented by Hosaka-san, also the co-chair of Policy SIG.
Another informational presentation include large IPv4 address space usage
trial for future IPv6 presented by Ito-san. And survey results in Japan - a
policy change presented by Izumi and also finally we have issue regarding
critical infrastructure and assignment size presented by Billy, an EC
member.

Kind regards,
Kenny Huang
