Draft document review: Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region ________________________________________________________________________

Dear SIG members

APNIC seeks final editorial comments on the following draft document:

- Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region http://www.apnic.net/docs/drafts/draft-add-manage-policy-v006.html

This document has been updated to reflect the implementation of policy proposal prop-053, "Changing minimum IPv4 allocation size to /22".

The changes are as follows:

- Section 6.10 has been updated to show that the new minimum allocation size is a /22 - Two of the criteria in section 9.3 have been updated to show that:

- 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

This draft is intended to implement the consensus decision reached at APNIC 25 and endorsed by the Executive Council on 15 May 2008. Details of the original proposal and links to discussions are available at:

http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-053-v003.html

Associated web pages and forms will be updated on 4 August 2008, the day the policy is implemented.

Nature of the document review -----------------------------

This is an editorial review only. The APNIC community has already reached consensus on the policy issue that is to be implemented.

Therefore, during the comment period, interested parties may:

- Object to the draft document on the grounds that it does not properly reflect the consensus decision reached in the Policy Review Process - Suggest improvements of any aspect of the document - Request that an additional call for comment be made to allow more consideration of substantial revisions

Deadline for comments ---------------------

Your comments are requested by 28 July 2008. Please send your comments to the sig-policy mailing list. Details at:
