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Section 4.2.1 is outdated and only looking for very old non-routed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.
