[sig-policy] New APNIC policies now active
Dear colleagues
The APNIC Secretariat has now implemented two policy proposals that
reached consensus at the APNIC 25 Policy SIG in Taipei, Taiwan in
February 2008. The APNIC Executive Council (EC) endorsed the
proposals during their May 2008 meeting. The two policy changes
are:
prop-053: Changing minimum IPv4 allocation size to /22
- The minimum allocation size has been reduced to /22
- Two of the criteria for an initial allocation have been
updated to show:
- An LIR must have used a /24 from their upstream
provider or demonstrate an immediate need for a /24
- An LIR must demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a
/23 within a year
prop-057: Proposal to change IPv6 initial allocation criteria
- Current LIRs with an existing IPv4 allocation from APNIC or
an NIR can now justify an IPv6 initial allocation without
documenting a plan for making 200 assignments
The comment period for the draft documents incorporating these
policies has ended. The updated documents are now officially active:
