[sig-nir] Re: NIR Policy Process BoF

Dear all,


FYI, this a a memo of what JPNIC do to encourage participation within
the JP Community. I am looking forward to exchange information with
you at the BoF.

JPNIC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APNIC Policy Proposals
 - translate, summarize, and explain the effect of policy proposals from APNIC and ask for feedbacks on the mailing list
   --> Introduce the policy itself will not give us feedbacks, therefore, JPNIC explain how this policy would affect the 

implementation, and ask further specific questions about the policy
 - introduce major comments on the JPNIC mailing list to the APNIC mailing list, and vice versa
 - When possible, translate minutes of APNIC meetings, APNIC meeting annoucements, and any call for volunteers(depending on 

workload)

After APNIC meeting
 - report the consensus on the mailing list
 - report about the meeting on our mailmagazine
 - report about the meeting in an LIR meeting(held 1 month after APNIC meeting)
 - report and take consensus where necessary about APNIC consensus in JPNIC Open Policy Meeting

JPNIC Policy Proposals
 - CFP on the mailing list
 - Explain proposals from JPNIC to LIRs in LIR meetings
 - Make proposals available in advance

Key to encourage participation
 - Keep the community as informed as possible about APNIC policy activities
 - Raise awareness on LIRs how policies would affect their operation

Future considerations
 - how to have proposals from the community
 - encourage more participation from the technical community like JANOG?
 - Is there a better way to NIR community comments for AP proposals other than the mailing list?
    --> Ideally speaking, NIR Open Policy Meeting should be held before & after the meeting, but difficult in practice
