Hello Owen
That makes me think of another option I haven’t listed.
We could take the structure outlined in option 4 and put them all in one document. That way we would have all the definitions, goals, and principles information at the beginning of the document and then have three sections IPv4, IPv6, and ASNs.
One of the concerns with option 2 was the way Section 6 swaps back and forth between the three resource types.
So I present Option 5 structure below. It would achieve the goal of one policy document with all its advantages, but keep the various resource policy criteria quite distinct.
-------------------------------
OPTION 5: One Policy Document
-------------------------------
Section 1: Policy Environment
-----------------------------
1.1. Introduction
Scope of Policy
Distribution Hierarchy
1.2. Definitions
All definitions
1.3. Policy framework
Goals & Principles
1.4. Resource License
Validity, renewal, recovery
1.5. Resource Management
APNIC pool management
Historical resources
LIR responsibilities
1.6. General requirements for requests
1.7. Resource Transfers
Intra-Regional transfers IPv4 & ASNs
Inter-RIR transfers IPv4 & ASNs
Historical resources
Mergers, acquisitions
1.8. Experimental allocations
Section 2: IPv4 Policy
----------------------
2.1. IPv4 Resource requests
Criteria for initial IPv4 delegations
Criteria for subsequent IPv4 delegations
2.2. Resource Transfers
Intra-Regional IPv4 transfers
Inter-RIR IPv4 transfers
Historical resources
Mergers, acquisitions
Section 3: IPv6 Policy
----------------------
3.1. IPv6 Resource requests
Criteria for initial IPv6 delegations
Criteria for subsequent IPv6 allocations
Criteria for initial IPv6 assignments
Criteria for subsequent IPv6 assignments
3.2. Resource Transfers
Mergers, acquisitions
3.3. Appendix A : HD-Ratio
Section 4: ASN Policy
---------------------
4.1. ASN Resource requests
Criteria for ASN delegations
4.2. Resource Transfers
Intra-Regional ASN transfers
Inter-RIR ASN transfers

I support option 2.
It is hard enough trying to follow the regional policy differences as an international network.
At least being able to find each regions policies in a single document would be a monumental
improvement.
