Dear Colleagues,

APNIC policies are decided by community members and implemented by the APNIC staff.

The Policy Development Process (PDP) is a way for anybody to propose a policy change and participate in the decisions.

This begins when somebody submits a Policy Proposal to the APNIC Policy SIG before the deadline set by the Chair.

For proposals to be discussed at APNIC 40 in Jakarta, Indonesia, the deadline is Friday, 31 July 2015.

If you have an idea to improve APNIC IP address and ASN policy, please follow the instructions below to submit your proposal before the deadline.

How to submit your Policy Proposal -------------------------------------------------

There are two ways to submit a policy proposal:

1. Use the online form at: http://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/submit

2. Send your proposal in TEXT format to policy@apnic.net. http://www.apnic.net/community/policy/process/proposal_template.txt

If you have identified an issue, but do not know the solution, you are able to complete the Problem Statement part of the proposal submission form and ask the community to help develop the best solution.
