All,

- Do you support adding a reference to ip6.arpa to 'Operational
  policies for National Internet Registries in the APNIC
  region'?

I support this part.

- Do you support moving the technical descriptions of managing
  reverse DNS zone out of 'Operational policies for National
  Internet Registries in the APNIC region' and onto the APNIC
  website?

Currently I cannot find the equivalent part of section 3.4 of APNIC-103-v001 in the web page stated in the proposal:

http://www.apnic.net/services/dns_guide.html

Unless APNIC clearly describes all required procedures in the page before Policy SIG in APNIC 25, it is difficult to support this part.

The best I could bend backward is that APNIC posts the content of the addendum to the web page to this mailing list.

Without that, it could be blind approval for non-existent procedure.

- Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?

- Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal?

- What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more
  effective?

In the Disadvantages: part in the Pros/Cons section,

| To ensure that NIRs have enough time to adapt to the changes, | the APNIC Secretariat will commit to a six-month notice period | between announcing changes to the system and expected | implementation by NIRs.

I prefer to change this to:

To ensure that NIRs have enough time to adapt to the changes, the APNIC Secretariat will commit to at least six-month notice period ^^^^^^^^ between announcing changes to the system and expected implementation by NIRs. The notice period can be extended upon request ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ from APNIC or an NIR. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
