All APNIC members and other interested parties in the Internet community are
encouraged to consider these proposals in detail before the Open Policy
Meeting.
Each proposal will be presented in the relevant Special Interest Group (SIG)

SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS
* Proposed criteria for initial, portable
allocations of IPv4 address space
This document proposes a set of criteria for portable allocations of IPv4
address space. The proposed criteria provide greater certainty, efficiency,
and fairness to IPv4 address space requests than are provided by current
policy, while supporting more strongly the goals of responsible address
space management. The proposed criteria would apply equally to both members
and non-members seeking portable address space from APNIC.
This proposal is intended to promote Internet development in the Asia
Pacific region by providing more certainty and efficiency for those seeking
to enter the industry.

---------------------------
* Proposed small multihoming assignment
policy (IPv4)
This document proposes a clear policy for making portable assignments to
organisations with relatively small address requirements, but a need to
multihome.
This proposal is intended to promote Internet development in the Asia
Pacific region by providing a clear policy that is directly relevant to
current industry practices.

---------------------------
* Proposed extension of the bootstrap period
for the allocation of IPv6 address space
This is a proposal to extend the bootstrap period for the allocation of IPv6
address space. It is being made in response to community concern that the
original bootstrap period was not sufficient, and that a failure to extend
it would hamper the widespread deployment of IPv6 address space.

---------------------------
* Proposal for provider independent IPv6 address
space assignments for Internet exchanges
This is a proposal for a policy describing provider independent IPv6 address
space assignments for Internet exchanges. The current IPv6 policy document
anticipates the need for such assignments, but, to date, does not describe a
policy under which they made be made.
