Hello Owen
That makes me think of another option I havenât 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.Â
-------------------------------OPTION 5: One Policy Document-------------------------------
Section 1: Policy Environment-----------------------------1.1. Introduction  ÂScope of Policy  ÂDistribution Hierarchy1.2. Definitions  ÂAll definitions1.3. Policy framework  ÂGoals & Principles1.4. Resource License  ÂValidity, renewal, recovery1.5. Resource Management  ÂAPNIC pool management  ÂHistorical resources  ÂLIR responsibilities1.6. General requirements for requests1.7. Resource Transfers  ÂIntra-Regional transfers IPv4 & ASNs  ÂInter-RIR transfers IPv4 & ASNs  ÂHistorical resources  ÂMergers, acquisitions1.8. Experimental allocations
Section 2: IPv4 Policy----------------------2.1. IPv4 Resource requests  ÂCriteria for initial IPv4 delegations  ÂCriteria for subsequent IPv4 delegations2.2. Resource Transfers  ÂIntra-Regional IPv4 transfers  ÂInter-RIR IPv4 transfers  ÂHistorical resources  ÂMergers, acquisitions
Section 3: IPv6 Policy----------------------3.1. IPv6 Resource requests  ÂCriteria for initial IPv6 delegations  ÂCriteria for subsequent IPv6 allocations  ÂCriteria for initial IPv6 assignments  ÂCriteria for subsequent IPv6 assignments3.2. Resource Transfers  ÂMergers, acquisitions3.3. Appendix A : HD-Ratio

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 monumentalimprovement.

Many of you may recall that the APNIC Secretariat has been workingtoward a restructure of the policy documents that govern the managementof resources in the region.
Last March, I circulated a draft document that merged all seven policydocuments into one policy manual. The email containing the links tothose drafts is available here:
Since then I have had some feedback that some may find a differentÂapproach easier. Accordingly, I have identified below, a series of fouroptions. These range from no change - maintain the seven separateÂdocuments, to keeping three or four documents.
To give a sense of what this might look like, I've pasted a likely Tableof Contents for each policy according to the structure of each option.
I can discuss this in more detail at APNIC 37, but the idea is to eitherput all policies together in one policy manual, or to maintain separateIPv4, IPv6, and AS number documents.
I look forward to feedback and opinions from community members, eitheron this list, or at the meeting.
Kind Regards,
Adam
