[sig-policy]Proposals for Address Policy SIG at APNIC15
There will be 4 policy 'proposal' papers presented at the forthcoming
Address Policy SIG at APNIC 15 (held in conjunction with APRICOT).
A brief synopsis of each of the proposals is provided below for your
information. Please take some time to go through the agenda, and raise
any issues or questions on the policy-sig at apnic dot net mailing list.
Full details of the agenda and papers can be found at:
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/15/sigs/policy/index.html
The proposals are:
1) Doc Review and Policy Processes Anne Lord, Gerard Ross, APNIC
Secretariat
This proposal is split into two parts. One part proposes modifications
to the existing Document Review Policy to align it more closely to the
processes and outcomes of consensus decisions that emerge from the APNIC
Open Policy Meeting. The existing Policy making processes have been
evolving for some time to become more structured and organised.
This agenda item is a review of those processes to see if they meet the
needs of the Internet community in the Asia Pacific.
2) An Interim Scheme for Signing the Public DNS Root, Johan Ihren,
Autonomica
This is a proposal for transitioning from an unsigned DNS root to a
signed root where the data will be signed by DNSSEC signatures.
The underlying reason for signing the root is to be able to provide a
more secure DNS hierarchy, where it is possible to distinguish false
answers from correct answers. For the special case of the DNS root zone,
an interim scheme is proposed. This scheme is mostly aimed at securing
the root zone itself for technical and operational reasons, and to give
operational experience of DNSSEC.
3) IPv6 Address Space Management, Paul Wilson, APNIC Secretariat
This proposal describes a scheme for managing IPv6 global unicast
address space whereby address allocations are made from a single global
pool according to a "sparse allocation" algorithm. This allocation
process will maximise aggregation of address space, ensuring that most
ISPs retain a single prefix as they grow, and avoiding the address space
fragmentation which results from the current IPv4 allocation technique.
4) Transfer of 6bone Address Management Responsibilities to RIRs, David
Kessens, Nokia
This document proposes that the 6bone address management
responsibilities are transferred to the RIRs. An abstract from the
proposal document is below.
The 6bone was established in 1996 by the IETF as an IPv6 Testbed network
to enable various IPv6 testing as well as to assist in the transitioning
of IPv6 into the Internet. It operates under the IPv6 address allocation
3FFE::/16 from RFC 2471. As IPv6 is beginning its production deployment
it is appropriate to plan for the phaseout of the 6bone. This note
establishes a plan for a multi-year phaseout of the 6bone and its
address allocation on the assumption that the IETF is the appropriate
place to determine this.
Every effort has been taken to have the presentation material available
on the meeting web site as soon as we receive them from the presenters.
