Re: [sig-policy] prop-103-v001: A Final IP Address Policy Proposal
Hi all,
I also speak only for myself.
In IPv4 area, address allocation is ongoing, so I think we need to
watch the status, and have to discuss allocation policy as needed. And
as Akai-san said, we will have some discussion topics such as
modification of final /8 policy, inter-RIR transfer policy and so on.
APNIC will obtain returned IPv4 address from IANA, so I personally
think we should discuss how to utilize those address. Many people wrote
IPv4 was over, however, there is demand for IPv4 address even now.
In IPv6 area, we will have some topics that we don't have now, such as
modification of current allocation policy, allocation policy for
outside of 2000::/3, DB restoration issues, DNS reverse delegation
issues and so on.
And moreover, I think current bottom-up policy process, anyone can
propose any policies is necessary. (but I do not mean discussion
about PDP is unnecessary. We should discuss how the policy process in
AP region should be in the future.)
Yours Sincerely,
--

| important part of the policy development process. We encourage you to

|
|
| 1. Introduction
| -------------------
|
| IPv4 is history, with no need to add more policy. IPv6 is sufficiently
| plentiful that further policies are not needed. So let us agree to make
| no more IP address policies or proposals.
|
|
| 2. Summary
| ----------------
|
| The APNIC community spends time and resources proposing, discussing,
| arguing, ... about IP address policies out of habit. The process is no
| longer relevant to actually coordinating the prudent and high quality
| operation of the internet.
|
|
| 3. Situation in other RIRs
| ---------------------------------
|
| There is an industry of policy wannabes spending inordinate time and
| resources making endless policy proposals about miniscule issues and
| baroque corner cases. This is a waste of time and other resources.
|
|
| 4. Details
| -------------
|
| The policy proposal and decision processes should be closed and stopped
| after the Phnom Penh meeting.
|
| Should an emergency arise, where community consensus is needed, the EC
| can organize fora for forming that consensus.
|
|
| 5. Pros/Cons
| -----------------
|
| Advantages:
|
| - We would not have to spend time discussing things of small
| consequence and which do not help the customer/user in any real way.
|
| Disadvantages:
|
| - It would impact the amateur careers of policy wannabes. This is a
| feature, not a bug.
|
|
| 6. Effect on APNIC
| -------------------------
|
| Saves money, time, and other resources such as administrative complexity
| created by more complex but useless policies.
|
|
| 7. Effect on NIRs
| -----------------------
|
| Saves money, time, and other resources such as administrative complexity
| created by more complex but useless policies..
