[sig-policy] APNIC EC returns prop-050: IPv4 address transfers to Policy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
APNIC EC returns "IPv4 address transfers" to Policy SIG
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues
The APNIC EC (Executive Council), at its meeting on 21 May 2009,
returned prop-050, "IPv4 address transfers", to the Policy SIG for
further discussion. Minutes from this meeting will be available after
they have been adopted at the June 2009 EC meeting.
Below is the official notification from the EC:
This is a response to the Policy Development Manager from the
APNIC Executive Council.
The APNIC Policy SIG Chair formally requested the APNIC EC to
endorse Proposal-50 on the 20th May.
According to the APNIC Policy Development Process: "The EC, in
their capacity as representatives of the membership, will be asked
to endorse the consensus proposals arising from the OPM and the
SIG mailing lists for implementation at the next EC meeting. In
reviewing the proposals for implementation, the EC may refer
proposals back to the SIG for further discussion with clearly
stated reasons."
In its meeting of the 21st May the APNIC Executive Council has
decided to refer Proposal-50 back to the Policy SIG. The reason
for this referral is that the EC is not of the opinion that the
proposal has gathered a clear consensus in favour of the policy,
and the EC notes that the proposal, taken in isolation, has
engendered significant concerns within the community relating to
the adequacy of safeguards against potential abuse as a
consequence of implementation this policy.
regards,
Geoff Huston
Executive Secretary to the APNIC EC
for the APNIC EC
