_______________________________________________________________________
Dear colleagues
APNIC seeks final editorial comments on the following draft documents:
- Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific
region
http://www.apnic.net/docs/drafts/draft-add-manage-policy-v007.html
- Policies for historical Internet resources in the APNIC Whois
Database
http://www.apnic.net/docs/drafts/draft-historical-resource-policies-v002.html
These documents have been updated to reflect the implementation of
the following policy proposals that reached consensus at APNIC 26 and
were endorsed by the Executive Council on 20 November 2008:
prop-062: Use of final /8
http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-066-v004.html
prop-066: Ensuring efficient use of historical IPv4 resources
http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-062-v002.html
The changes are as follows:
- In "Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia
Pacific region"
- New sections 4.5 and 4.6 added to define current and
historical resources
- The need to document historical address utilization when
requesting IPv4 addresses added to sections 8.4, 9.3 and 9.4
- New section 9.10 added to specify how APNIC will distribute
the final /8 worth of IPv4 addresses in its unallocated pool
- In "Policies for historical Internet resources in the APNIC
Whois Database"
- New section 3.1 added to specify that utilization of
historical addresses is taken into account when requesting
IPv4 addresses
- Section 8 updated to clarify when historical IPv4
addresses are subject to APNIC administrative fees
Associated web pages and forms will be updated on 16 February 2009, the
date the policies are implemented.
