Randy and all:
My objection to prop-062 is the reservation of /16 for unknown future requirements.
1. This effectively amounts to APNIC holding a /16.
2. Any unknown future technology better be using IPv6. By holding something, we also effectively not weening off IPv4.
3. Any new technology most likely would affect other RIR and Internet community as a whole. So if we want to address that issue, we should take it up with ICANN/IANA. Maybe someone should propose to reserve another /8 for future unknown technology from the global table.

prop-062: Use of final /8
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues
This is the final call for comments on policy proposal prop-062,
"Use of final /8".
This proposal was presented at APNIC 26 and was accepted by consensus.
The proposal has been submitted to the Policy SIG mailing list for an
eight-week discussion period. At the end of that period, if consensus
appears to have been achieved, the Policy SIG Chair will ask the
Executive Council to endorse the proposal for implementation.
* Send all comments and questions to: sig-policy@apnic.net
* Deadline for comments: 24 October 2008
Proposal details
----------------
- New and existing LIRs in the APNIC region to be able to receive
a single allocation from the last /8 if they meet the current
allocation criteria:
- The size of allocations to be tied to APNIC's minimum
allocation size
- A /16 to be reserved from the final /8 for distribution for
future, as yet unknown, technology requirements.
Proposal details including the full text of the proposal,
presentations, links to relevant meeting archives and links to
mailing list discussions are available at:
