Re: [sig-policy] Global Policy for IPv4 Allocations by the IANA PostExha
Thank you for sending the draft out, it's important to set up a
reclamation pool and relevant policy.
I may be out of the loop for a while, I am just wondering,
Is this global policy proposal related to APNIC policy proposal
" prop-069 Global policy proposal for the allocation of IPv4 blocks to Regional Internet Registries " ?

> Global Policy for IPv4 Allocations by the IANA Post Exhaustion
>
> Rationale:
>
> This policy defines the process for the allocation of IPv4
> addresses post "Exhaustion Phase"[1]. In order to fulfill
> the requirements of this policy, the IANA must set up a
> reclamation pool to hold addresses in and distribute from
> in compliance with this policy. This policy establishes
> the process by which IPv4 addresses can be returned to and
> re-issued from the IANA post Exhaustion Phase.
>
> The intent of this policy is as follows:
>
> * Includes all post Exhaustion Phase address space returned
> to the IANA.
>
> * Allows allocations by the IANA from the Reclamation Pool
> once the Exhaustion Phase has been completed.
>
> * Defines "need" as the basis for further IPv4 allocations
> by the IANA.
>
> * Does not differentiate any class of IPv4 address space
> unless defined by RFC 1918.
>
> * Encourages the return of IPv4 address space by making this
> re-allocation process available.
>
> * Disallows transfers of addresses sourced from the
> Reclamation Pool in the absence of an IPV4 Global Transfer
> Policy to neutralize transfer process inequities across RIR
> regions.
>
> * Applies to legacy IPv4 Address Space initially allocated
> by the IANA to users including the allocations to RIRs.
>
> * Includes any length of fragments currently held by the
> IANA now or in the future.

> 1. Reclamation Pool
>
> Upon adoption of this IPv4 address policy by the ICANN
> Board of Directors, the IANA shall establish a Reclamation
> Pool to be utilized post RIR IPv4 exhaustion as defined in
> Section 5. As soon as the first RIR exhausts its inventory
> of IP address space, this Reclamation Pool will be declared
> active.
>
> 2. Returning Address Space to the IANA
>
> The IANA will accept into the Reclamation Pool all eligible
> IPv4 address space that is offerred for return. Eligible
> address space includes any addresses not previously
> designated for special use by an IETF published RFC
> explicitly offerred for return to the IANA by:
>
> a) The RIR to which the space is assigned
>
> b) The registrant of record where no RIR holds authority
>
> 3. Address Allocations from the Reclamation Pool by the IANA
>
> Allocations from the Reclamation Pool may begin once the
> pool is declared active. Aggregates in the Reclamation Pool
> may be divided on a CIDR boundary to the longest minimum
> allocation or assignment of any of the RIRs in order to
> complete these allocations. Addresses that are left over
> will be held in the Reclamation Pool until additional IP
> addresses are returned, or a minimum allocation unit is
> achieved that allows continued allocations from the pool.
>
> 4. RIR Eligibility for Receiving Allocations from the
> Reclamation Pool
>
> Upon the exhaustion of an RIR's free space pool, an RIR
> will become eligible to request address space from the
> IANA Reclamation Pool when it publicly announces via its
> respective global announcements email list and by posting a
> notice on its website that it has exhausted its supply of
> IPv4 address space. Exhaustion is defined as an inventory of
> less than the equivalent of a single /8 and the inability to
> further assign address space to its customers in units equal
> to or shorter than the longest of the RIR's policy defined
> minimum allocation unit. Any RIR that is formed after this
> policy has been adopted by the ICANN Board of Directors is
> not eligible to utilize this policy to obtain IPv4 address
> space from the IANA.
>
> 5. Reporting Requirements
>
> The IANA shall publish on at least a weekly basis a report
> that is publicly available which at a minimum details all
> address space that has been received and that has been
> allocated. The IANA shall publish a Returned Address Space
> Report which indicates what resources were returned, by whom
> and when. The IANA shall publish an Allocations Report on at
> least a weekly basis which at a minimum indicates what IPv4
> address space has been allocated, which RIR received the
> allocation and when. The IANA shall publish a public report
> confirming RIR eligibility subsequent to Section 4.
>
> 6. No Transfer Rights
>
> Address space assigned from the Reclamation Pool is not
> subject to transfer outside of an ICANN Board adopted
> globally adopted transfer policy. The definition of Global
> Transfer Policy for the purpose of this policy is a global
> policy that has been processed and adopted by ICANN in
> compliance with the MoU [2] and attachments as agreed to in
> October 2004 between ICANN and the RIRs.
