[sig-policy] The summary report of the Policy SIG at APNIC 24
Here's the summary report of the last Policy SIG held during APNIC 24
last week.
Community Resolution:
At the beginning of the Policy SIG the following resolution passed
unanimously.
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/24/program/sigs/policy/resolution.html
Co-chair Election:
Randy Bush and Jian Zhang were elected as new co-chairs.
Policy Proposals:
The following proposal reached consensus:
prop-049: IANA policy for allocation of ASN blocks to Regional
Internet Registries
There were two proposals that considered ways to distribute the last
remaining blocks of the free IANA IPv4 address pool to the RIRs:
prop-051: Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4
Address Space
prop-046: IPv4 countdown policy proposal
Neither proposal reached consensus; however, there was consensus on
the following principles:
- If there is to be a policy on the distribution of the last
remaining IPv4 blocks to RIRs, then each RIR should be allocated
one, not two, /8 blocks.
- Discussion is needed on the policy under which the last /8 would
be allocated in the APNIC region.
The following proposal didn't reach consensus:
prop-050: APNIC transfer policy for IPv4 address holders
However many of the participants support to discuss further on this
policy proposal. Author of this proposal will revise the proposal and
come back to the next APNIC meeting with a proposal reflecting the
revised input.
Four open proposals were not presented at the meeting:
prop-042: Proposal to change IPv6 initial allocation criteria
prop-043: Proposal to remove reference to IPv6 policy document as
an "interim" policy document
prop-047: eGLOP multicast address assignments
prop-048: IPv6 ULA-central
