[apnic-talk] [apnic-announce] Call for Comments: Draft policy document
[Note "reply-to:" field]
*******************************************************
CALL FOR FURTHER COMMENTS
- Deadline Friday 14 May 1999
*******************************************************
On 5 February 1999, APNIC released the first draft of the document "Policies
for Address Space Management in the Asia Pacific Region" and called for
comments and suggestions from the membership and the broader Internet
Community.
In response, APNIC received many useful and well-considered comments, which
were taken into account when revising the original draft. APNIC thanks all
those who have contributed to this process.
A second draft of the document is now available, along with a table
summarising the comments received from the first draft. Links to all of
these documents are at <http://www.apnic.net/policydraft.html>.
APNIC again invites comments, suggestions, and questions on this important
document, which aims to set out a clear and consistent framework of policies
for allocations and assignments of address space in the Asia Pacific region.
In order to allow organisations to thoroughly consider how the proposed
policies would affect their businesses and, where necessary, prepare
translations of the document, APNIC has set a deadline of Friday 14 May 1999
for responses.
On the basis of comments received, a third draft will be prepared and
made public, with the intention of seeking membership consensus. Once
consensus has been reached, APNIC will implement the policy document and
commence a review of all of its other documents to ensure a consistent
operational framework.
ABOUT THE DRAFT DOCUMENT
The draft document "Policies for Address Space Management in the Asia
Pacific Region" represents current APNIC practices and policies, which have
not previously been codified in a single document.
Public address space is a resource belonging to whole Internet community
and, therefore, its management involves implementing policies which achieve
the best possible balance of the needs of all those who use it. APNIC
encourages you, as a member of the Asia Pacific Internet community, to read
this document and consider its implications. We invite you to make any
comments you feel would be constructive to the development of a subsequent
draft.
Please note that this document does not seek to set out detailed policies in
relation to membership of APNIC or issues specific to confederations.
However, APNIC does intend that this document will provide a foundation upon
which other, more specific, documents can be based.
Please address your comments to the <apnic-talk at apnic dot net> mailing list
(subscribe via majordomo at apnic dot net>). If, however, you would like to make
comments privately, please email Paul Wilson, Director General of APNIC at
