Call for comments: Resolution to abandon prop-069: Global policy proposal for the allocation of IPv4 blocks to Regional Internet Registries _______________________________________________________________________

Dear Colleagues

This is a reminder about the final call for comments to abandon Prop-069 as a Global Policy candidate.

As the result of a consensus decision at the APNIC 32 Policy SIG meeting, it was resolved that:

The membership of the APNIC Policy SIG recognizes that Prop-069 - Global policy proposal for the allocation of IPv4 blocks to Regional Internet Registries has been been superseded by Prop-097 and that Prop-069 should be abandoned.

Background ----------

This proposal reached consensus at APNIC 27 and subsequently completed the APNIC Policy Development Process on Thursday, 21 May 2009.

The Address Supporting Organization Address Council abandoned prop-069 as a global policy proposal as the proposal failed to reach consensus in all RIRs.

The APNIC Policy SIG Chairs propose that following the 8-week comment period, the SIG request the APNIC Executive Council to dis-endorse prop-069, that action item pol-27-02 be closed, and that prop-069 be listed as "Abandoned".

The comment period will end Monday, 31 October 2011.

Proposal details ----------------

This is a global policy proposal governing the allocation of reclaimed IPv4 address space from the IANA to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) after the IANA's existing free pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses space is depleted.

Proposal details, including the full text of the proposal, history, and links to mailing list discussions are available at:
