Hello SIG Members
Can I just clarify the current situation regarding demonstrated needs in the case of IPv4 transfers.
As I understand it, the demonstrated need for IPv4 resources under the APNIC Transfer policy is evaluated according to the criteria contained in the IPv4 policy Section 3.1 - 3.5.
These are the pre-final /8 policies we are all familiar with. That is, 80% utilisation with a one year window.

While the relationship between the Transfer policy and the criteria in IPv4 policy is not explicit, in my opinion it would require a change in policy to justify APNIC changing this operational practice.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Secretariat to refuse an applicaiton for transfer approval that demonstrated a need for the resources over a 15 year timeframe, or a 100 year timeframe.
I think this would be against the intention of prop-096.

I hope that helps.
Adam

Hi Andy and All,
Proposing policy changes really shouldn't be our first choice for
problem resolution. I see no reason why people shouldn't come to this
list with a problem statement such as the one Dean suggests:
I agree with your opinion.
Actually, we had the same thought, and we confirmed with APNIC team
before the submission.
The response we received was that APNIC secretariat should follow APNIC
policy and stick to one year need at this stage. If there is a need to
change this, it should be discussed at policy-sig.
This was why we submitted the proposal but we are open to hear if there
has been any changes since we last confirmed with APNIC.
Could you follow-up if the change can be done under current policy?
APNIC team

Shin
