["Kenny Huang" <huangk@alum.sinica.edu>]

Dear Policy SIG members:
 
I'd like to post the summary of last Policy SIG meeting on behalf of 
Policy SIG Chair and Co-Chair.
 
We had the meeting at Hanoi on 8 September 2005.
- there were 66 participants in session 1 and 86 participants in 
  session 2.
 - 4 policy proposals and 6 informational presentations.
 
1. IANA policy for allocation of IPv6 blocks to RIRs 
  Paul Wilson
   The proposal include
    (1)Allocation sufficient for 18 month period (not 36)
    (2)Those with less than /12 unallocated address space to receive 
        an allocation from IANA RIRs to receive additional IPv6 space when
     a. available space is less than 50% of a /12.
     b. available space of IPv6 addresses is less than RIR requirement 
         for the following  9 months.
    The proposal reached consensus at the Policy SIG meeting and AMM
 
2.  Proposal to amend APNIC IPv6 assignment and utilisation requirement
policy
    Geoff Huston
   During the discussions, the proposer agreed to a request to separate 
 into 2 proposals
    2.1 Proposal part 1: Evaluation for subsequent allocations to be 
 based on an HD-Ratio value of 0.94
    The proposal reached consensus at the Policy SIG meeting and AMM
 
    2.2 Proposal part 2: Add a /56 end-site allocation point (in 
 addition to /64 and /48) and default end-site allocation for SOHO end sites
to be a /56
  The proposal didn't reached consensus at the Policy SIG meeting
 
3.  Proposal for discrete networks and national peering
   Uchenna N Ibekwe
  This is a proposal to permit large ISPs to manage multiple country 
  accounts under a single APNIC membership using the concept of discrete 
  networks.  The proposal also recommends that APNIC allocate routable 
  aggregate blocks of IPv6 to enable Global/Continental-regional/National 
  peering for Large ISPs with global facilities.
   The proposal didn't reached consensus at the Policy SIG meeting
