[sig-policy] IPv4 allocations for African economies within the APNICregi
[apologies for duplicates]
Dear Colleagues,
The APNIC Executive Council has resolved that the IPv4 eligibility
criteria and minimum allocation size for LIRs in the African economies
of Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Reunion, and Seychelles,
should be as follows:
IPv4 eligibility criteria
-------------------------
To be eligible to obtain an initial allocation, an LIR in an African
economy must:
- have used a /24 from their upstream provider; or
- demonstrate an immediate need for a /24; and
- demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a /23 within a year.
Minimum allocation
------------------
The minimum allocation for an LIR in an African economy is /22.
All other provisions of APNIC-086 "Policies for IPv4 address space
management in the Asia Pacific region" continue to apply to LIRs in
these African economies. This document is available at:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/add-manage-policy.html
Background
------------
Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Reunion, and Seychelles are
currently served by APNIC, but will be served by AfriNIC when it becomes
operational in the near future. For more information, see:
http://www.afrinic.net/documents.htm
ARIN and the RIPE NCC also apply a /22 minimum allocation for LIRs
within other African economies.
Regards
