Three policy proposals implemented
________________________________________________________________________


APNIC has implemented three community-approved policy proposals.


prop-125: Validation of “abuse-mailbox” and other IRT emails
------------------------------------------------------------

This new policy will improve the accuracy of the APNIC Whois Database
and ensure the contact details of those responsible for solving network
abuse issues are current and contactable. From 30 June 2019, all
contacts registered in Incident Response Team (IRT) whois objects must
be validated every six months. To meet the new policy requirements, the
IRT contact must respond to an APNIC email by validating a unique code.
This demonstrates the abuse-mailbox is monitored and responsive to
legitimate abuse reports.

APNIC policy and the membership agreement require all contact details to
be accurate and up-to-date. Failure to validate these contacts after 15
days will result in the IRT whois objects being marked as ‘Invalid’. If
there is no action after 30 days, access to MyAPNIC will be limited
until the contacts are validated.

APNIC Members should ensure they have access to MyAPNIC to check their
IRT contacts are responding to the validation request.

prop-128: Multihoming not required for ASN
------------------------------------------

Multihoming is no longer required to request an Autonomous System Number
(ASN). This allows organizations with their own routing policy to
interconnect with another AS.

prop-129: Abolish waiting list for unmet IPv4 requests
------------------------------------------------------

The waiting list, established for IPv4 requests that could not be
fulfilled from the non-103/8 IPv4 Recovered Pool, has been abolished.
All recovered IPv4 address space APNIC receives from IANA, or through
account closures or returns, will be treated under the same allocation
policy as the final /8 (103/8). APNIC account holders will only be
eligible to receive up to a /23 from this address space.

Once APNIC runs out of all IPv4 address space, a new waiting list will
be created for new requests that cannot be fulfilled. These requests
will be fulfilled in the order they are received as space becomes
available.
