Dear colleagues
This is the final call for comments on policy proposal prop-074,
"Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) policy for allocation of ASN
Blocks (ASNs) to Regional Internet Registries".
This proposal was presented at APNIC 28 and was accepted by consensus.
The proposal is now being submitted to the Policy SIG mailing list for
an eight-week discussion period. At the end of that period, if consensus
appears to have been achieved, the Policy SIG Chair will ask the
Executive Council to endorse the proposal for implementation.
* Send all comments and questions to: sig-policy@apnic.net
* Deadline for comments: 26 October 2009
Proposal summary
----------------
According to the current Global Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to
Regional Internet Registries, IANA will cease to make any distinction
between 16-bit and 32-bit only ASN blocks by 31 December 2009, when
making allocations to RIRs. This proposal is to extend this date by one
year, to 31 December 2010.
Proposal details including the full text of the proposal, presentations,
