[sig-policy] Document update: APNIC-089 "IPv6 Address Allocation andAssi
Document update:
Amendments to document "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy"
- making public registration of customer assignments optional
- evaluating existing IPv4 networks for IPv6 requests
- allocating IPv6 address space to 'private' networks
________________________________________________________________
APNIC seeks final comments on the following draft document:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* IPv6 address allocation and assignment policy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The document has been updated to reflect the implementation of three
policy proposals endorsed by the APNIC Executive Council. The changes are
as follows:
- public registration of customer assignments is made optional
by using a 'public' attribute in the APNIC Whois Database;
- the use of existing IPv4 infrastructure and customer base when
evaluating IPv6 requests is clarified;
- allocations to private networks (those not connected to the
public Internet) are explicitly allowed.
It is available at:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/drafts/draft-ipv6-address-policy.html
This draft is intended to implement the consensus decisions reached at
the following meetings:
- APNIC 16 (endorsed by the Executive Council on 20 November 2003)
in relation to proposal prop-007-v001.
- APNIC 17 (endorsed by the Executive Council on 14 May 2004) in
relation to proposals prop-015-v001 and prop-016-v002.
Details of the original proposals and links to discussions are available at:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-007-v001.html
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-015-v001.html

Nature of the document review
-----------------------------
This is an editorial review only. The APNIC community has already reached
consensus on the policy issues which are to implemented.
