APNIC EC endorses three policy proposals _______________________________________________________________________

Dear colleagues

The APNIC EC (Executive Council) endorsed the following proposals at its meeting on 18 May 2010. Minutes from this meeting will be available after they have been adopted at the June 2010 EC meeting.

prop-079: Abuse contact information

prop-080: Removal of IPv4 prefix exchange policy

prop-082: Removing aggregation criteria for IPv6 initial allocations

Next steps ----------

The following two proposals involve minimal changes to documentation only. Therefore these will be implemented as soon as practicable, early in the third quarter of 2010.

prop-080: Removal of IPv4 prefix exchange policy

prop-082: Removing aggregation criteria for IPv6 initial allocations

The remaining policy, prop-079, "Abuse contact information", requires more complex technical changes to whois and other software. Therefore, it will be implemented by the APNIC Secretariat during the fourth quarter of 2010.
