[sig-policy] APNIC document review: IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy

[Son Tran <son@apnic.net>]

Dear SIG Members


APNIC seeks final editorial comments on the following draft document:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This document has been updated to reflect the implementation of the
following policy proposals:


     prop-031: Proposal to amend APNIC IPv6 assignment and utilisation
               requirement policy

     prop-033: End site assignment policy for IPv6

     prop-035: IPv6 portable assignment for multihoming


The changes are as follows:

     - In section 5.1.1.1 d), the reference to a "plan for at least
       200 /48 assignments" has been replaced by a "plan for at least
       200 assignments".
     - The HD ratio has been changed from 0.8 to 0.94 in sections
       5.2.2 and 7.
     - The size of assignments has been left to the LIR or ISP's
        discretion on section 5.4.1.
     - A new portable assignment criteria has been inserted as section
       5.8.1. The section numbers for Internet Exchange Points and
       critical infrastructure have therefore been incremented.


The document is available at:

at APNIC 20 and APNIC 22 and endorsed by the Executive Council
