Hi NZNOG members At APNIC's 25 Open Policy Meeting in two weeks, the community will be discussing a number of proposals related to the depletion of remaining unallocated IPv4 address pool. If your network will need more IPv4 addresses in the next few years, these proposals will affect you. In the lead up to APNIC 25, the community is currently discussing the proposals on the APNIC Policy SIG mailing list. It's great to see that some NZNOG members are already contributing to the debate. Policy is driven by input from the community. So I encourage you to read the discussions to date and add your thoughts to the Policy SIG mailing list. We need to know what you want so APNIC policies best meet your needs.
