[Apnic-announce] New APNIC policies now active
Dear colleagues
The APNIC Secretariat has now implemented the following policy
proposals:
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-054: NIR operational policy document revision
- The document now includes a reference to ip6.arpa
- The reverse DNS processes have been updated
- The appendix has been removed
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:
