Version 2 discussed at the APNIC 24 Policy SIG. There was consensus on the following principles:

  • If there is to be a policy on the distribution of the last remaining IPv4 blocks to RIRs, then each RIR should be allocated one, not two, /8 blocks.
  • Discussion is needed on the policy under which the last /8 would be allocated in the APNIC region.
