prop-080: Removal of IPv4 prefix exchange policy _____________________________________________________________________

Dear colleagues

The eight-week final comment period for the proposal 'Removal of IPv4 prefix exchange policy' has ended. During the final days of the comment period there were two objections raised to the proposal. The Chairs are a bit ambivalent about whether the objections are 'substantial' or not. According to the APNIC Policy Development Process:

- If the objections are considered 'substantial', it means that the proposal cannot be deemed to have reached consensus in the final comment period.

- If the objections are not considered 'substantial', it means that the proposal can be deemed to have reached consensus.

The Chairs therefore ask the community to help us decide whether to consider the two objections received as 'substantial'. We welcome your input on this to the mailing list by the end of Wednesday, 12 May 2010. The question we are asking is:

- Do you think the objections made to prop-080 are substantial? Yes/No

APNIC Policy SIG Chairs Randy, Ching-Heng, and Terence
