Hi Satoru,I hope you are fine. It's really great to hear from you that, you have already arranged a local discussion on prop-127.As mentioned in proposal, decreasing the maximum allocation size from /22 to /23 can prolong the last 103/8 pool so more small startups can still be connected with multi-homing.From my point of view, as IPv4 is not a durable solution for anyone right now, so "delegating less IPv4 addresses to more organizations" is better than "delegating much IPv4 addresses to less organizations"If the maximum delegation size can be reduced to /23 than more organizations can get IPv4 addresses in this crisis period of IPv4 exhaustion which can be vital for their businesses to start and they have the rights to get that I think.So it seems a very timely proposal to prolong the final 103/8 pool and we really need this.My comments are below on some of your raised points.* I am worried that the change a allocation size and this discussion will be repeated each time the 103/8 address pool decreases.* It should be /24 in this time if it will be changed it in the future.* I'd like to know the reason why "/23", not "/24" or other prefix size.----- I think, decreasing the allocation size to /23 is more suitable for multi-homing along with traffic load sharing.If it is /24 then multi-homing is possible but traffic load sharing will not work.And other options such as /25 or /26 etc are not possible as per current best practices you know.* /23 seems too small for a newcomer.---- Yep, /23 seems too small, but there is no better options available i think.Let's have some more discussion from other community members on prop-127. And lastly thanks again for your concern.Thanks & Regards,Md.

If each organization uses a PI addressthat is not locked in to a upper provider, there is a great merit thatthere is no need to procure the second transit.*There are areas where have only one transit as pointed out by the proposer.This proposal has the effect that policy conforms to the actual situationas a result.Best Regards,Satoru TsurumakiJPOPF-ST2019?1?22?(?) 9:14 Bertrand Cherrier <b.cherrier@micrologic.nc>:> Dear SIG members,>> The proposal "prop-128-v001: Multihoming not required for ASN" has been> sent to the Policy SIG for review.>> It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting at APNIC 47 in> Daejeon, South Korea on Wednesday, 27 February 2019.>> We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list> before the meeting.>> The comment period on the mailing list before an APNIC meeting is an> important part of the policy development process.
