[APNIC Secretariat <secretariat@apnic.net>]

Dear Colleagues,

____________________________________________________________________

APNIC policy implementation update
____________________________________________________________________

The APNIC Secretariat has now implemented the following policies:

    [prop-014-v001]    Lowering the IPv4 minimum allocation size
                       and initial allocation criteria

    [prop-016-v002]    IPv6 allocations to organisations with
                       existing IPv4 infrastructure



Lowering the IPv4 minimum allocation size and initial allocation
criteria
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Under this modified policy, the IPv4 minimum allocation size has been
lowered to a /21 (2,048 addresses) and to be eligible for an initial
allocation, an LIR must:

    - have used a /23 from their upstream provider or demonstrate an
      immediate need for a /23;
    - have complied with applicable policies in managing all address
      space previously allocated to it;
    - demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a /22 within a year; and
    - commit to renumber from previously deployed space into the new
      address space within one year.

customer base when evaluating IPv6 requests.
