[sig-policy] Reminder: upcoming APNIC policy implementations

Upcoming APNIC policy implementations
________________________________________________________________________
This is a reminder that on 4 August 2008, APNIC will implement two
policy proposals that reached consensus at the APNIC 25 Policy SIG in
Taipei, Taiwan in February 2008. The APNIC Executive Council (EC)
endorsed the proposals during their May 2008 meeting. The two policy
changes are:
- Changing the minimum IPv4 allocation size to /22
This change will make it easier for small ISPs to receive direct
allocations from APNIC.
- Adding an alternative IPv6 initial allocation criteria
This change will make it easier for more ISPs to receive IPv6
allocations from APNIC by enabling current LIRs with IPv4
allocations to receive IPv6 initial allocations without a plan
for making 200 assignments.
To view the history of these policy proposals, see:
prop-053: Changing minimum IPv4 allocation size to /22
