Each allocation will consist of the minimum IPv4 allocation size 2. The account holder must meet the criteria for receiving an IPv4 allocation specified in one of the following sections of this policy document: * 9.3 Criteria for initial allocation * 9.4 Criteria for subsequent allocations All APNIC account holders are eligible to receive only one allocation from the final /8 worth of address space. This applies to both current and future account holders. http://www.apnic.net/policy/add-manage-policy#9.10 --- Note the "only one" in the last paragraph.
