Dear All,
Kindly find the attached modified version 2 of the previous proposed policy
draft "afpol-v4gp200707-001.txt" . By reference to IANA website, IANA uses the
term IPv4 allocation to RIR so we've to replace assignment term with allocation
term, and to be coincident with the original approved policy by LACNIC we've to
replace the symbol 'Y' by 'M'..
We remove the Background part with its equations to simplify the proposal paper
as we consider it implicitly recognized. And adding Rational part at the end.
The same policy proposal introduced for other RIRs
Me and Dr.KLA are waiting for your comments.
Regards,
Haitham..

Dear All,
It's a long time since we met in AfriNIC-6 in Nigeria, where the first BoF
meeting discuss the IPv4 exhaustion and it's impact on AfriNIC region. Before
and after that meeting Roque, Francisco, Dr.Didier and me have been working on
a proposal for equal distribution of the remaining IPv4 address space across
the existing RIR regions (attached). Roque & Francisco from LACNIC region have
submit it in the last LACNIC meeting and get consensus on it; and I'm here
would like to propose it for discussion and comments through our AfriNIC
mailing lists.
Kindly, find the attached file.
I'm waiting for your valuable feed back.
Thanks,
Haitham..

Version: Draft

Status: Open for discussion

Policy Affected: The current on-demand global policy for the distribution of
--------------- IPv4 address space to the Regional Internet Registry (RIR)
system.
Incentive: In order to assure the equal distribution of the IPv4
--------- address space across RIR regions, this policy proposal
describes
a process for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 space from
IANA to the existing RIRs
Policy Proposal Name: Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining IPv4
Address Space.
--------------------
Proposal:
--------
Policy Statement:
This policy describes the process for the allocation of the remaining
IPv4 space from IANA to RIRs. When a minimum amount of
available space is reached, an identical number of IPv4 allocation units (/8s)
will be allocated from IANA to each RIR, replacing the current IPv4
allocation policy.
In order to fulfill the requirements of this policy, at the time of its
adoption, an identical number of IPv4 allocation units (N) will be
reserved by IANA for each RIR. The number N is
defined as 5. The reserved units will no longer be part of the available
space at IANA pool.
The process for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 space is divided in two
consecutives phases:
1. Existing Policy Phase:
During this phase IANA will continue allocating IPv4 addresses to the RIRs
using the existing allocation policy. This phase will continue until a request
for IPv4 address space from any RIR to IANA can not be fulfilled with the
remaining IPv4 space available in the IANA pool.
This will be the last IPv4 address space request that IANA will accept from any
RIR. At this point the next phase of the process will be initiated.
2. Exhaustion Phase:
IANA will automatically allocate the reserved IPv4 allocation units to each RIR
(N units to each one) and respond to the last request with the remaining
available allocation units in IANA pool (M units).
2.1. Size of the final IPv4 allocations:
During this phase IANA will automatically allocate N allocation units to each
RIR from the reserved space defined in this policy. IANA will also allocate M
allocation units to the RIR that submitted the last request for IPv4 addresses.
2.2. Allocation of the remaining IPv4 Address space:
After the completion of the evaluation of the final request for IPv4 addresses,
IANA must:
A) Immediately notify the NRO about the activation of the second phase of this
policy.
B) Proceed to allocate M allocation units to the RIR that submitted the last
request for IPv4 address space.
C) Proceed to allocate N allocation units to each RIR from the reserved space.
Rational:
--------
The IANA pool of allocation units of IPv4 addresses (/8s) is decreasing
rapidly. A new policy is proposed to replace the current "on demand" policy in
order to bring certainty on how the remaining space will be allocated. This
policy eliminates the pressure on the remaining central pool of addresses by
allocating equal amount of allocation units (N) to each RIR.
RIR may be studying slow-landing policies or the possibility to reserve
specific address spaces for "critical infrastructure" or new companies in order
to comply with anti-trust regulations in its region. This policy allows each
RIR to adopt those policies through its PDP, which is simpler than a global
policy discussion process. Each RIR will have the exact information on the
amount of address spaces that they will be receiving as a last allocation from
the IANA.
The policy is written in such a way that the discussion could be split in two
sections: first do we agree on the concept of the policy and second what is the
appropriate value for the last allocation units N.
