Prop 50 and 73 are the most interesting to me. Summary, prop 50 is IPv4 address transfers, and prop 73 is making it super simple to qualify for an IPv6 /32s or /48s to IPv4 allocation/ assignment holders. The APNIC policy page for both says: 10 February 2010 Planned implementation. Unfortunately, that's ~ 10 days after NZNOG 2010, so we can't force everyone to log in and get their IPv6 space during the conference, damn! Though, perhaps APNIC will be able to show us how to log in and click whatever magic button implements prop-73. I imagine we'll be able to hear about how prop-50 will work as well?

Hi Folks,

For those of you who don't follow the APNIC policy lists.

prop-073 has been endorsed by the APNIC EC and will be implemented in Q1 2010 (in Feb I believe).

You may recall that this policy modifies the initial v6 requirements such that your existing APNIC IPv4 allocation/assignment satisfies the criteria such that (as one person described it to me) you don't have re-write 'War and Peace' to get v6.

Cheers Terry

----------------------------------------------------------------------- APNIC EC endorses four policy proposals -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues

The APNIC EC (Executive Council) endorsed the following proposals at its meeting on 18 November 2009. Minutes from this meeting will be available after they have been adopted at the December 2009 EC meeting.

prop-050: IPv4 address transfers

prop-073: Simplifying allocation/assignment of IPv6 to APNIC members with existing IPv4 addresses

prop-074: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to Regional Internet Registries

prop-075: Ensuring efficient use of historical AS numbers

Next steps ----------

Once the proposal prop-074, "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks (ASNs) to Regional Internet Registries", has been adopted by all five RIRs, it can proceed to the final stages of the global policy development process. For more information on the global policy development, see:

http://www.nro.net/policy/index.html#global

The three remaining policies in the above list will be implemented by the APNIC Secretariat during the first quarter 2010.
