APNIC implements three new policy proposals

The APNIC Secretariat has now implemented the following policy proposals:

prop-053: Changing minimum IPv4 allocation size to /22

• The minimum allocation size has been reduced to /22
• Two of the criteria for an initial allocation have been updated to show:
• An LIR must have used a /24 from their upstream provider or demonstrate an immediate need for a /24
• An LIR must demonstrate a detailed plan for use of a /23 within a year

prop-054: NIR operational policy document revision

• The document now includes a reference to ip6.arpa
• The reverse DNS processes have been updated
• The appendix has been removed

prop-057: Proposal to change IPv6 initial allocation criteria

• Current LIRs with an existing IPv4 allocation from APNIC or an NIR can now justify an IPv6 initial allocation without a documenting a plan for making 200 assignments.

Updated policy documents

The comment period for the draft documents incorporating these polices has ended. The updated documents are now officially active:

• Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region
• IPv6 address allocation and assignment policy
• APNIC guidelines for IPv6 allocation and assignment requests
• Operational policies for National Internet Registries in the APNIC region
