Just a quick note to let you know the status of the editing of the IPv6
Guidelines document.
We have currently just completed a first draft edit. This is currently
going through a review. With the Easter holidays coming up here, it may
take a little longer to complete the review than anticipated.
I also have a query regarding the section on 'Existing IPv4
infrastructure'. At the recent APNIC Open Policy meeting there was
consensus on the proposal :
to make more explicit the use of IPv4 infrastructure for organisations
applying for IPv6 address space. This proposal is currently subject to
review (until May 3rd) and will then be put to the EC for their
endorsement. I presume you wish to release this document earlier? My
question is - do you wish the Secretariat to include references to this
proposal in the guidelines. I think it makes sense and I do expect the
proposal to be approved.
One other thing - we have removed the section pertaining to the APNIC whois
database. The reason for this is that the database information will be
somewhat duplicated by :
and section 5.3 LIR to ISP assignment of APNIC-089 and information in
Section '5.5 Registration' of APNIC-089.
If you feel that information is lost by doing this, can I suggest that we
look at updating existing database 'help' style documentation, rather than
creating separate information.
Similarily the DNS info for IPv6 is covered by this guide:
