ThuThuy,

I think we will have exactly the same agenda raised from 
APNIC at this coming Open Policy Meeting.  

Stay tuned and you will see.

| Dear APNIC, NIRs and all,
| 
| We are IP team of VNNIC-NIR.
| 
| On Address SIG of 46th Ripe Meeting ( 1-5 September 2003 ), there 
| was a formal proposal to lower the minimum allocation size from /20 
| to /21. It mostly had consensus on this issue. Now Ripe already set 
| the minimum allocation size /21 for new address blocks (83.0.0.0/8 
| and 84.0.0.0/8) that they obtained from IANA.
| This proposal is issued base on the foundation that many new startup 
| LIRs can't get a PA allocation (due to not being able to prove /22 
| utilization). They use PI space for themselves and their customers 
| to get started until being qualified to obtain portable allocation.
| In the end, we have multiple PI networks plus a PA in the routing 
| table
| 
| Not being able to prove /22 utilization is also a problem of 
| Vietnamese new ISPs. On behalf of Internet Community in Viet Nam we 
| would like to post this information onto "sig-nir" and "sig-policy" 
| mailing list with the ambition to receive many precious comments 
| feeded back from you, especially from others NIRs.
| 
| Looking forward to hearing from you.
| 
| On behaft of VNNIC IP team.
| Thu Thuy.
