prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteriaProblem Statement:

• The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy requires multihoming as an absolute requirement for end-user (assignment).

Proposal:

• An organization is eligible if it– Currently it is multihomed– Currently utilizing min /24 from provider (ISP) and willing to multihome in

future– Planning to multihome and advertise the prefix within 6 months

Outcome:

• Consensus

prop-114 - Modification in the ASN eligibility criteriaProblem Statement:

• Modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN assignment by providing alternate criteria for obtaining an ASN

Proposal:

• An organization is eligible for an ASN assignment if:– they are currently multi-homed OR – have previous allocated provider independent address space by

APNIC AND intend to multihome in the future

Outcome:

• Consensus

prop-115 - Registration of detailed assignment information in whois DBProblem Statement:

• Use of IPv4 address sharing technologies and IPv6, make it difficult to filter out a specific address range. This leads operators to 'over-filter' (i.e. filtering whole ISP's address range).

Proposal:

• Detailed  assignment  informa0on  can  be  seen  in  whois DB  – Operators  can  set  filter  with  this  detailed  information and  avoid  ‘over-

filtering’  which  filter  out  all  allocated space.

Outcome:

• No consensus, returned to mailing list.

• Seek AMM permission to have Secretariat to conduct a survey

Informational presentations

• The Status of APNIC’s IPv4 Resources: Exhaustion & Transfers - Geoff Huston– Status of APNIC Final /8 pool (103/8)

• Will run out ~4-5 years – Status of IANA Recovered pool (non-103)

• Will run out in next ~7 months+• IANA will allocate additional space in every 6 months

– This pool will repeatedly ‘run-out’ as IANA delegates more space and it is distributed by APNIC• Need policy to deal with temporary exhaustion of the non-103 pool

Informational presentations

• IPv4: Mining Strategic Reserves - Jim Cowie– Carefully research the historical routing of networks for sale

• IP addressing and IoT/M2M services - Tomohiro Fujisaki– Does current IPv6 Policy cover all possible use cases for IoT?
