[sig-policy] Returned to the mailing list - prop-055: Global policy for
prop-055: Global policy for the allocation of the remaining IPv4
address space
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues
prop-055: 'Global policy for the allocation of the remaining IPv4
address space' received majority support in the APNIC 25 Policy SIG
but did not reach consensus. Therefore, this proposal is being returned
to the Policy SIG mailing list for further discussion.
Proposal details
----------------
This is a proposal for allocating the remaining IPv4 space from IANA to
the RIRs. The proposal suggests that IANA reserve one /8 for each RIR
as soon as this proposal is adopted. Later, when IANA receives a
request for IPv4 address space that cannot be fulfilled using the
remaining IANA IPv4 free pool, IANA will allocate each RIR a single /8
from the block reserved for this purpose. Any remaining /8s in IANA’s
free pool will then be allocated to the RIR that makes the last request
to IANA.
Proposal details including the full text of the proposal,
presentations, links to relevant meeting archives and links to mailing
list discussions are available at:
