With the 'non-removal' of the needs assessment, I am happy to support
this proposal.
The only addition to this text was the clarification of
demonstrated need. It is not being removed and will remain in
place as below.
"Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must
demonstrate that they are able to use 25% of the requested
addresses immediately and 50% within one year."

- Problem statement
The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple
eligibility criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be
eligible to receive IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates
that “an organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed
with provider-based addresses, or demonstrates a plan to multi-home
within one month” (section 3.3).
The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if
there is no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even
when there is only one upstream provider available, this has
created much confusion in interpreting this policy.
As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect
or fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or
barred themselves from applying.
- Objective of policy change
In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to
modify the text of section 3.3.
- Situation in other regions
ARIN:
There is no multi-homing requirement
RIPE:
There is no multi-homing requirement.
LACNIC:
Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or
interconnect.
AFRINIC:
There is no multi-homing requirement.
- Proposed policy solution
Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations
An organization is eligible if:
it is currently multi-homed OR
currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24,
AND intends to be multi-homed OR
intends to be multi-homed
AND
advertise the prefixes within 6 months
Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must
demonstrate that they are able to use 25% of the requested
addresses immediately and 50% within one year.
- Advantages / Disadvantages
Advantages:
Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for
small delegations and delays the immediate requirement for
multi-homing as determined to be appropriate within the timeframe
as detailed in Section 3.3.
Disadvantages:
There is no known disadvantage of this proposal.
- Impact on resource holders
No impact on existing resource holders.
