prop-147-v002: Historical Resources Management
----------------------------------------------------------------
Proposer: Jordi Palet Martinez (jordi.palet@theipv6company.comAnupam) Anupam Agrawal (anupamagrawal.in@gmail.com)
1. Problem statement -------------------- Section 4.2.1 is outdated and only looking for very old non-routed resources.
The recent EC resolution (22nd February 2021), imply that historical resource holders in the APNIC region would need to become Members or Non-Members by 1st January 2023 in order to receive registration services. Failing this, historical resource registration will no longer be published in the APNIC Whois Database and said resources will be placed into reserved status.
Given the continued need for IPv4 addresses, it would seem illogical to keep these unused historical resources in reserve indefinitely. Alternatively, these resources can be used in a way that is sufficiently justified in accordance with existing policies, allowing other organizations to benefit from them during the IPv6 transition.
2. Objective of policy change ----------------------------- Ensure that historical IPv4 resources are justified and claimed, or that they are available for other organizations that require them.
If the resources are marked as reserved, the custodians may reclaim them with a valid justification, when APNIC failed to contact them for whatever reason.
One example of a valid justification is the case where an organization is actually using them internally and there are valid reasons to instead use RFC1918 space, however the space is not routed.
To give the custodian of the historical resource more time to reclaim them, we propose two time-frames for the community discussion and consideration: 6 months and 12 months.
3. Situation in other regions ----------------------------- In other RIRs legacy resources lose their legacy status when the RSA is signed (upon receiving other resources), so they become under the regular monitoring. In other cases, there is nothing specified by policies.
4. Proposed policy solution --------------------------- Proposed policy solution (option 6-months):
Actual text: 4.2.1. Recovery of unused historical resources To recover these globally un-routed resources and place them back in the free pool for re-delegation, APNIC will contact networks responsible for historical address space in the APNIC region that has not been globally routed since 1 January 1998.
To recover un-routed historical AS numbers, APNIC will contact networks responsible for resources not globally used for a reasonable period of time.
Proposed text: [Remove] Section 4.2.1 Recovery of unused historical resources
[Add] Section 4.3. Historical Resources Management
Historical resources that have not been claimed by the custodian will be deleted from the APNIC Whois database after 1st January 2023, and marked as reserved.
Historical resources marked as reserved have an additional twelve (12) months to be claimed by their custodians. After that, APNIC will add these resources to the free pool for re-delegation.
Furthermore, from 1st January 2023, all historical resources need to be maintained in a current APNIC account. In the event of an account closure, the historical resource will be placed in a quarantine period and then made available for re-delegation similar to current resources.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages ----------------------------- Advantages: Fulfilling the objective above indicated.
Disadvantages: None.
6. Impact on resource holders ----------------------------- None.
7. References ------------- None.
Hi all,
The Secretariat thanks the authors and the community for taking the impact assessment clarifications into consideration. We have no further clarifications.
Regards, Sunny
