New APNIC policies now active
_______________________________________________________________________


Today, 9 August 2011, APNIC implements two policy proposals that reached
consensus during APNIC 31 in Hong Kong during February 2011.

The two policy proposals implemented are:

   prop-083 Alternative criteria for subsequent IPv6 allocations

            This proposal enables current APNIC account holders with
            existing IPv6 allocations to receive subsequent IPv6
            allocations from APNIC under additional criteria.

   prop-095 Inter-RIR IPv4 address transfer proposal

            This is a proposal to allow and define a mechanism for the
            transfer of IPv4 address space between APNIC account holders
            and organizations in other RIR region(s), providing that the
            counterpart RIR has a policy that allows transfers of
            address space with APNIC account holders.

Updated policy documents
------------------------

The two policy changes required edits to three documents. The comment
period for the draft documents incorporating these policies ended on
8 August 2011. The following updated documents are now officially
active:

   IPv6 address allocation and assignment policy
