Provide the full name of the person completing the request form. APNIC will use this name for any correspondence regarding the progress of this request.

Please note that APNIC only accepts requests from registered contacts. If you are not already a registered contact, then you will need to be "introduced" to APNIC.

How to get introduced:

• Current contacts can use MyAPNIC to add new contacts.
• The current registered contact can send an email to APNIC introducing the new contact's name and email address; or
• If the registered contact has left the organisation, APNIC will need a fax on the organisation's letterhead stating the names, email addresses, and NIC handles (if possible) of the new contacts. The fax must be signed by an authorised person, such as a director or manager.

Provide the email address of the person completing the request form. APNIC will use this address for any correspondence regarding the progress of this request.

Note: APNIC strongly discourages requests from free web-based email accounts such as Hotmail or Yahoo. If the organisation making the request does not yet have the infrastructure for its own email accounts, you may submit a request using a free email account and contact APNIC as soon as the organisation sets up its own email system.

This attribute should contain your unique APNIC account name.

If you do not have an account name but wish to become an APNIC member, please see APNIC membership information. If you are an APNIC member, but have forgotten your account name, please contact admin@apnic.net. You will need to provide details of the name and location of your organisation.

Note: APNIC will not accept resource request forms without a completed account name attribute, and resources will not be assigned until required fees have been paid.

Assignments you have made to your network infrastructure

Please provide information about address ranges that have been assigned to your infrastructure.

To add the assignments to the form:

1. Complete the address range
2. Add a description of the assignment in the text field below the address range attribute
3. Select the "Add" button

The address range will automatically be converted to the correct CIDR format for that range and added to your form. You can then enter details of the next assignment.

Note: It is important that your assignments be specified correctly as APNIC evaluates future allocations on the basis of past assignment history.

Enter the address range of the specific network in dotted decimal format. Please include the starting address, followed by a dash (-), and then the end address. If you have registered the assignment in the APNIC Whois Database, you can simply copy and paste the address range format used in the database.

<start-address> - <end-address>

This attribute indicates whether you wish to have your request evaluated under the simplified bootstrap evaluation criteria for new cable or DSL services.

APNIC offers special evaluation criteria for requests relating to cable or DSL services. If you choose to have your request evaluated under the bootstrap criteria, the size of your allocation will allow you to assign a /24 to each CMTS (cable modem termination system) in your network.

If you think an allocation of this size will not be sufficient for your needs, then you should answer NO to this question and provide more details using the network plan attribute.

Radio buttons:

• Yes
• No

If you use a large amount of IP addresses for dialup services please provide additional information about this service.

To help APNIC evaluate your request, please tell us whether you assign addresses statically or dynamically to your dialup customers. In addition, we would like to know more about the customer to dialup port contention ratio you try to maintain.

When you assign addresses to your customers, you must follow the correct "assignment window" procedures, as described below.

When APNIC allocates address space to you, we will give you an assignment window (AW). Your AW specifies the maximum assignment you may make to a single member without seeking approval from APNIC. If you wish to make a larger assignment than your AW allows, you must make a "second opinion" request to APNIC.

Examples:

AW 0

An AW of 0 means that you must make a second opinion request for any customer assignment you wish to make. (Note: Dynamic assignments, such as those made to dial-up customers are not subject to this procedure).

AW 128

An AW of 128 means that you can assign up to and including 128 IP addresses without the need to seek approval from APNIC. But if a customer requests more than 128 IP addresses, you must first make a second opinion request.

The AW procedure only applies to customer assignments. You do not have to request a second opinion for assignments to your own network infrastructure.

You can also learn more about this procedure from the Assignment window FAQ.

This attribute references the NIC-handle of the administrative contact (admin-c) for this network. The administrative contact must be someone who is physically located at the site of the network, subject to the following exceptions:

• For residential networks or users, the Internet Registry's (IR's) technical contact may be registered as admin-c.

You may specify more than one admin-c for the network.

If these contacts do not yet have valid NIC-handles, please create them before submitting this form (this process may take 15-20 minutes).
