Thank you for your feedback Gaurab, as an fee-paying member as well as
a member of the EC you have a unique insight here.
You bring up a very important concern above.  It is certainly not the
intent of this proposal to create an unreasonable burden on APNIC.  It
is difficult however for the membership as a whole to ascertain this
burden is in fact unreasonable without being authorised to view any
information around the costs associated with its implementation.

While it is an important issue that you raise, unfortunately the
magnitude of the importance depends on the magnitude of the marginal
cost associated with the creation of an additional RPKI ROA.  If this
cost is $100 per record then as you say, this could open APNIC up to a
cost of $4,600,000.  I'm sure everyone would agree that that was
unreasonable.  If on the other hand the marginal cost of creation and
maintenance is 1 cent per record then this cost is only $450, well
within the realms of the other 'public good' work performed by APNIC
for the benefit of non-member entities.Release of the cost
implications may cause a number of outcomes for this proposal, it may
prove to be a cost that members would be happy for the EC to accept,
it may cause the RPKI portion of this proposal to be removed, it may
also cause a different RPKI trust anchor with a lower cost model to be
suggested.

Sanjaya, Gaurab has bought to light an important issue which is
central to this proposal.  Could I request information regarding the
marginal cost of creation of an additional RPKI ROA to an existing
allocation be made public to the list.  I appreciate that exact
figures may be difficult to obtain given the tight time constraints,
to make this easier, an upper and lower bound on this cost would also
be fine

Once again, thanks for bringing up this issue Gaurab.

Thank you for the reply.

I can see how the process weight could vastly change the cost of
implementation.  To that end to co-authors have a proposed solution.
Upon careful consideration of the underlying reasoning behind this
proposal, the RPKI section may not be required.
It does not make sense to attempt to protect this prefix from
hijacking when by it's very nature it's available for non-exclusive
use.

We will remove the references RPKI and send an updated draft as soon
as possible.

Good morning Masato.

After consideration the co-authors feel that RPKI is an unnecessary
addition and reference to it as a requirement will be removed in a
subsequent draft.

It is essential that any barrier to entry or perception of exclusivity or
licensing  for the use of this prefix be removed.

Hi Mike,

I like David's way of handling the issue that you raise.
By saying that "... it is acceptable to filter this prefix at an
administrative boundary, if an operator desires.  Further, it should
be made clear it is not acceptable to advertise this prefix to the
Global Internet."

I'm interested in your comment here regarding the IXP situation.
Would 1.2.3.4 being advertised onto an IXP by a willing participant be
something that you'd see a problem with?
It would certainly be possible to place wording into the policy which
places an expectation that operators should filter this at their AS
boundary.  I'm interested in whether people think this would
unreasonably restrict the benefit of some fo the use cases of this
prefix.

[sig-policy] IP Leasing BoF at APRICOT 2014

2014-02-20 Thread Dean Pemberton
Good Morning all,

There will be a BoF on the subject of IP address leasing at the
APRICOT 2014 meeting on Tuesday, 25th Feb 2014 at 17:30 - 19:00 in the
Grand Caymans room on  Level 10.

I will be chairing this BoF and I'd like to invite all interested
parties to attend.

While the concept of IP address leasing is not new, and has been the
primary model for ISP sub-delegation to its customers, there is an
assumption that some level of operational control is retained by the
ISP. There is an expectation that the registry data reflects an
operational hierarchy that makes it possible for people to look up
'parent' blocks and use the contact information at that level to
resolve operational issues at a lower level network block.

This model and assumptions may no longer be valid in the IPv4
exhaustion state we're currently in. Addresses may be leased out with
no operational service or control attached to it. How should the
registry reflect this reality, to maintain its important role in
facilitating operational trouble shooting? Policy-wise, should lessors
be allowed to accumulate address space, using leasing demands as
'demonstrated need' in getting more IP addresses transferred to them?

Voice your opinion in a healthy debate in this BoF, held to gauge the
community's sentiment on these important issues.


Regards,

Dean

[sig-policy] Timezone conversion for remote participation

Thats a shame Skeeve, timezones can be hard if you're not used to working
with them.
I'd hate for other remote participants to be caught by the simple error you
encountered. Luckily there is a handy webpage which does accurate
conversion.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

You can put in your timezone and the one you're interested in and it will
do the conversion for you.  No need for guess work.

Here is an example for Skeeve which converts time in Kuala Lumpur (as shown
on the APRICOT 2014 programme) into his local time in Sydney.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20140225T00&p1=122&p2=240


There is even a "Meeting Planner" which will show you all the times for the
whole day.  No longer is there an excuse to miss a meeting.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html

Here is another example for Skeeve showing how Kuala Lumpur and Sydney time
matches up for today.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20140226&p1=122&p2=240


I hope this helps all remote APRICOT participants and I look forward to
seeing more remote participation.

Dean

Would the author like to highlight what the changes in version 003 of
this proposal are?
How does this differ to the version which failed to gain consensus at

How do these changes address the concerns raised at the previous OPM?

The statement above is very worrying to me.

I travel the globe assisting developing economies to realise their
potential through the use of the Internet.  Whenever I talk about IPv6 and
the size of the address space, someone will always say words to the effect
of:

"Phew, this means we will never run out ever again..."
I reply with
"Throughout history, humanity has proved itself an expert at two skills;
being short-sighted and wasteful in equal measure"

Some of the largest IP resourcing arguments we have had as an APNIC
community, and indeed a global Internet community, have sprung from the
adoption of mindsets similar to the one presented above.

We have all heard the lament of economies who feel justifiable
disadvantaged by being late to the Internet revolution.  Economies who now
have to make do with a thousand or so IP address per member while looking
at economies who came before them and were allocated as many as was
convenient at the time.

The Internet is for everyone, and those of us assisting the people building
and promoting it today have an obligation to ensure that it's available not
only for today's users, but also the generations of users who will come in
the future.

InternetNZ strongly believes that policy making bodies such as the one we
are all contributing to here should operate as true servants of the
Internet community, rather than a mind-set that they know what's best and
enforcing those views onto the masses.

Mandating what seem like arbitrary decisions about sub-netting on
hex-charater boundaries may been like it has very little to no impact, but
the difference between a /29 and a /28 is
633,825,300,114,114,700,748,351,602,688
usable IPv6 addresses.

There will always be a balance to achieve between resource conservation and
ease of network deployment, but it is just that, a balance.  Allocating
unnecessary IP address space so that it is easier for humans to type into
networking equipment is not striking the right balance point.

I do not wish to give support or otherwise to prop-111 at this time, I will
wait to hear oral submissions at the OPM, what I would encourage however is
that in making a decision to support prop-111, members consider what is
best for the billions of people in the Internet Community that we all
serve, rather than what is easiest for a small minority to type or read on
a screen.

Dean

2014-09-17 Thread Dean Pemberton
That's one of my concerns Elvis...

If we accept the argument that we'll only allocate on hex-char
boundaries, then it means that we're wasting more and more addresses
as time goes by.  We'll be having this discussion in a little while
about /24s rather than /27s then it will be /20s rather than..

I once had someone swear that they would never use the 'letters' in
the IPv6 address because it made the addresses look 'strange'.  They
ended up wasting over a third of their address space.  What is being
suggested here is almost as crazy.

Dean

Re: [sig-policy] Resignation as Policy SIG chair

2014-09-20 Thread Dean Pemberton
As the list knows by now, Owen and I don't always see eye to eye, but
on this we are agreed.

I'd like to go further however...

It would be easy to assume that Randy's considerable contributions to
the global Internet community are all in the past.  This however could
not be further from the truth.  Randy continues to be actively
involved in a great number of projects which provide direct benefit to
current and future users of the Internet.  I have the pleasure of
working with Randy on a number of these projects and the thing they
all have in common is that Randy doesn't feel the need to place
himself in the spotlight.  In fact quite the opposite; Randy would
never want his profile to be higher than that of the organisation he
is assisting.

This assistance spans the gamut from ensuring individuals from
underrepresented groups can access mentoring, training and knowledge
transfer opportunities to designing and deploying Internet
infrastructure projects which assist entire economies to benefit from
increased Internet access.

Suffice to say that in contrast to the statement that Randy is
negative, pessimistic, sour and arrogant.  I have witnessed his work
in projects where he continues to show positivity, optimism,
enthusiasm and humility.

Do not judge a person by a single act, but by the balanced sum of
their actions.  If Randy chooses not to spend his time and efforts
within the APNIC community then that is both his choice, and this
community's loss.

Regards
Dean

Re: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria

2015-02-03 Thread Dean Pemberton
Could I ask that the APNIC hostmasters to comment on the following:

Have you ever been made aware of a situation where due of the current
wording of the relevant clauses in the policy, a member or potential member
has not made a resource application where they would otherwise have been
able to?

In other words had the current policy in the eyes of the host masters ever
been a barrier to entry?

I'll also be asking the same question of the other similar policy.

Changing or removing the rules is not the way to address people submitting
invalid or misleading information.

Also I doubt that the hostmasters would be 'aware' of a case. If they were
then the question would be why did they approve the resource application.

So it doesn't look like there is a problem here.

The hostmasters are clear about the current policy, they explain it to
people who contact them.

Am I missing something?  I'm not at all in favour of policy for policy
sake.

What's the problem statement here?

Rather than being a laughing matter this proposal seeks to hand out ASNs
with no more  justification than "I want one".

Can the authors explain why they feel radical change to existing policy is
required?

What benefit?  I'm not seeing one here.
As far as I can see there is nothing stopping an LIR with one of these
historical allocations (a /32 for example) coming back to APNIC,
requesting more address space, demonstrating need, and being allocated
that additional space.

What this proposal seems to be advocating is that each of the LIRs be
'gifted' up to a /29 without having to demonstrate any need what so
ever.

I oppose this policy on those grounds alone.

If the policy were to place a needs based assessment on the LIR, then
the proposal would not be required at all and we would be able to
proceed under the rules we have today.

> Q2. Does the alternative solution proposed by Owen resolve this problem

Owen's solution is available to people today.

eg, If I have a /32 and I want to grow this to a /28 but there is only
a /29 possible under the allocation models, then I can request a /28
from a different block and renumber into it, returning the /32.  I
believe people have been doing similar things in the IPv4 world for a
while.

In it's current form the policy is either not required (members can
get additional allocations if required), or a dangerous precident
(removal of needs based allocation for IPv6).

I do not support this proposal in it's current form.

Re: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria

2015-02-23 Thread Dean Pemberton
This proposal seems to advocates two things:

The removal of any requirement for organisations to be multihomed
The removal of any needs based allocation for IPv4 address allocation.

The proposed wording states:

  Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations
An organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed or
inter-connected with provider (ISP)-based addresses, or demonstrates
a plan to advertise the prefixes within 3 months.

Can the authors clarify that their intended state is one where an LIR
is only required to demonstrate a plan to advertise the addresses
rather than demonstrate an actual need for them?

Re: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

2015-02-23 Thread Dean Pemberton
Firstly I agree with Randy here.  If you're not multi-homed then your
routing policy can not be 'unique' from your single upstream.  You may wish
it was, but you have no way to enforce this.

Secondly, In considering this policy proposal in conjunction with prop-113,
I am increasingly doubtful that there is anything for me to support here.

I suspect what is happening here is that these proposals (113 and 114) are
conjoined and rather than significantly lowering the bar with regard to
allocation of IPv4 resources, they seek removal of the bar altogether.

There are players within the community who will significantly benefit from
a policy framework with a reduced multi-homing and demonstrated needs
requirement, but those entities are not necessarily the end LIRs.

What these two proposals seek to do is remove all barriers to obtaining
IPv4 addresses and ASNs.
One of the major problems here is that the authors seek to do this one
'cut' at a time.  Almost in an attempt to avoid waking the tiger which is
ARIN's requirement for needs based allocation, or having the APNIC
community discussion around 'needs based' allocation for IPv4 resources.

I would like to see us stop the subterfuge here.

I would like to see both of these policies withdrawn and prop-116 "Removal
of all barriers to allocation of IPv4 and ASN resources" put forward for
debate.  It is only in that way that the true ramifications/impacts of
these smaller policies can be realised and discussed by the community.

Forcing us to debate this clause by clause is a waste of community time and
effort.

I strongly oppose this policy as it is currently written.

This statement clearly shows that you are in favour of, and that this

It's my understanding that current policy allows just that.  If you
need a /28 then APNIC will be able to allocate you one.  It might not
be an extension of your existing allocation if you were one of the
early adopters (limited to a /29 boundary), but this policy doesn't
provide anything new.

All it proposes is that anyone in the position of having an allocation from:
  2001:0200::/23
  2001:0c00::/23
  2001:0e00::/23
  2001:4400::/23

Can request their allocation be extended to a /29 without any further
justification needed.

Owen opposes this as it wouldn't support allocation on a byte boundary
(/28).  That is never going to be possible for allocations within this
block as they were initially allocated too close together.

I oppose this on the grounds that it violates needs based allocation
guidelines AND non byte boundary allocation for IPv6.

A way forward that I would support is:

1.  Have the hostmasters confirm that a member with an allocation in
this block could, if justified, receive an allocation up to a /29 by
extending their current allocation.
2.  Have the hostmasters confirm that a member with an allocation in
this block could, if justified, swap the allocation for one  allocated
from a different block where the /29 restriction on growth did not
apply.
3.  Withdraw this proposal.

I don't agree (Damn and we were getting on so well this year  =) ).

I would argue that the situation you describe above DOES constitute multihoming.
If an LIR were connected to an upstream ISP but also wanted to
participate at an IXP I would consider them to be multihomed and
covered under existing APNIC policy.

I couldn't find the strict definition on the APNIC pages as to what
the hostmasters considered multihoming to be, but if one of them can
point us to it then it might help.

I really want to find out what those multi-homing requirements are.  I
suspect that they amount to "BGP connections to two or more other
ASNs"
In which case I think we can go back to agreeing.

I can see your point, but taking a smaller simpler approach is only
valid once you have agreed on the larger more strategic direction.  I
don't believe that we have had those conversations.

We are seeing small proposals purporting to talk about multihoming,
but what they are in essence talking about is the much larger topic of
the removal of demonstrated need (as Aftab's clarification in the
other thread confirms beyond doubt.)

There is danger in the death by a thousand cuts.  Many times you can't
see the unintended consequences until you are already down the track
of smaller simpler policy changes.

As we are in Japan I offer a haiku:

A frog in water
doesn’t feel it boil in time.
Do not be that frog.

Yeah I think this is a bit of a radical proposal to accept at present.
I'm not convinced we should be supporting CGN in this way, nor am I a
fan of seeing more and more information make it into Whois which might
not be the best place.

I would like to hear more from Hiromi-san about the problem statement
and how this might be solved, but I'm not at all sure I would support
the current proposal.

Would it be possible to withdraw the proposal and use the scheduled
time during the Policy Sig for an informational session to allow
Hiromi-san to present to the community the problem here?

Maybe I'm being dense but how are the restricted from doing this under
the current policy framework?

They can extend up to a /29 today if they have the need.  If they need
more then they get two block or renumber.
Thats the current framework, this policy doesn't really change that as
far as I can tell.

2015-02-24 Thread Dean Pemberton
Members potentially lying on their resource application forms is not
sufficient justification to remove all the rules entirely.
If someone lies on their a countries visa application about a previous
conviction for example, thats not justification for the entire country
to just give up issuing visas.

It sounds like you are accusing the hostmasters of doing an inadequate
job of checking policy compliance of member applications for
resources.  Perhaps this is something that you'd like to take up with
them directly rather than proposing that we remove all the rules in
the existing policies.

2015-02-25 Thread Dean Pemberton
Nope - Your other email didn't provide any reasons which weren't covered by
Philips answer.

If you have a peering session to two or more ASNs you are multihomed and
you qualify.
If you only peer with one ASN then you can do this with a private ASN.
If you want to make a change and move from a single peer to more than one
then you get quickly get an ASN.
You can even get them in advance of a planned network change as seen in the
current policy snippet below

"An organization will also be eligible if it can demonstrate that it will
meet the above criteria upon receiving an ASN (or within a reasonably short
time thereafter)."

No need to change policy.

2015-02-25 Thread Dean Pemberton
Thanks for that Guangliang.  Thats really helped to clarify the position here.

Another question.
Whats the normal time lag between a member applying for an ASN
(assuming that all the information is present and correct) and it
being allocated?

1 day?
1 week?
1 month?

I'm trying to gauge if it really takes longer to apply for an ASN than
it does to arrange and configure a BGP peering session.

Thanks

2015-02-25 Thread Dean Pemberton
Thanks Guangliang,

That's what I hoped the answer would be and it's great to see that the
hostmasters are able to turn these around so quickly.

My summary here after all we have discussed is that under the current
policy, if there is an operational need (connecting to more than one
ASN or to an IXP) for a member to have an ASN, they can apply a short
time in advance and generally receive an ASN the next working day.

There is essentially no barrier to entry here.  If a site needs an ASN
they are able to receive one.  If they want one 'just in case', then
that is against current policy and I'm ok with that.

Re: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

2015-02-25 Thread Dean Pemberton
Actually the RFC makes this clear.

There is clear guidance within RFC1930 for this which is marked as "BEST
CURRENT PRACTICE".  Please someone let me know if I've missed an
obsolescence here.

All of the situations you are talking about are described as "rare and
should almost never happen".  If you believe that the RFC is wrong and no
longer constitutes best practice, then engage in the IETF community and try
and fix this at the source rather than using RIR policy to justify a
departure from documented current best practice.



5.1 Sample Cases

   *Single-homed site, single prefix

A separate AS is not needed; the prefix should be placed in an
AS of the provider. The site's prefix has exactly the same rout-
ing policy as the other customers of the site's service
provider, and there is no need to make any distinction in rout-
ing information.

This idea may at first seem slightly alien to some, but it high-
lights the clear distinction in the use of the AS number as a
representation of routing policy as opposed to some form of
administrative use.

In some situations, a single site, or piece of a site, may find
it necessary to have a policy different from that of its
provider, or the rest of the site. In such an instance, a sepa-
rate AS must be created for the affected prefixes. This situa-
tion is rare and should almost never happen. Very few stub sites
require different routing policies than their parents. Because
the AS is the unit of policy, however, this sometimes occurs.

   *Single-homed site, multiple prefixes

Again, a separate AS is not needed; the prefixes should be
placed in an AS of the site's provider.

   *Multi-homed site

Here multi-homed is taken to mean a prefix or group of prefixes
which connects to more than one service provider (i.e. more than
one AS with its own routing policy). It does not mean a network
multi-homed running an IGP for the purposes of resilience.

An AS is required; the site's prefixes should be part of a
single AS, distinct from the ASes of its service providers.
This allows the customer the ability to have a different repre-
sentation of policy and preference among the different service
providers.

This is ALMOST THE ONLY case where a network operator should
create its own AS number. In this case, the site should ensure
that it has the necessary facilities to run appropriate routing
    protocols, such as BGP4.

I believe we've entered the point of diminishing returns here.

It has been shown multiple times in this thread that there is no barrier to
getting an ASN if one is required under the current policy.  This fact has
been supported by the current hostmasters.  Operators currently have the
freedom to choose how to manage their networks, they can choose to get an
ASN anytime they need one for operational purposes.

There is no change in policy required.

I strongly oppose this policy as written.

It did say "immediate future".
I would say that it seems reasonable that if you're claiming that
you're going to multihome in the "immediate future" that you would
know the ASNs with whom you were going to peer.

If it was more of a "Well at some point we might want to multihome",
then you might not know the ASN.  But in those situations RFC1930 says
that you should be using a private AS until such time as you are
closer to peering.

I'm sure Skeeve also thinks that organisations should be able to get all
the IP addresses they might ever need all on day one.
I'm sure he even knows a company who could arrange that for them.

Lets see where the community thinks this should go.
It still sounds like unlimited ASNs for anyone who thinks they might like
to have them.
Great business for anyone clipping the ticket on the transaction.

2015-02-26 Thread Dean Pemberton
Here's a quote from an even OLDER RFC which hasn't stood the test of time.

 - Large organizations like banks and retail chains are
   switching to TCP/IP for their internal communication. Large
   numbers of local workstations like cash registers, money
   machines, and equipment at clerical positions rarely need
   to have such connectivity.

Thing is though that we haven't tossed out the rest of RFC1918 just
because some of it didn't age well.

2015-02-27 Thread Dean Pemberton
So a "maybe someday" ASN?

So anyone who has PI space and doesn't already have an ASN gets allocated
one regardless of need.
Any new member who gets PI space gets an ASN allocated as a matter of
course.

Any additional ASN requested by a member must conform to existing policy.

Is this where we're at?  Change the proposal and see where we get to.

Why not make it your APNIC membership number and be done with it :). That
lowers the barrier even further and means that people wouldn't need
assistance applying for them.

Re: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

2015-02-27 Thread Dean Pemberton
Nope - you almost had me, but now you've lost me again, well done.

What you are suggesting *IS* regardless of need, and thats what I
think people are missing.
If you are not required to demonstrate need to get something, then it
is allocated regardless of need.
I realise this might seem semantic, but policy is all about semantics.

This 'anticipation of future need' stuff is at best ethereal and at
worst a fallacy.  Lets not forget that there is an almost zero barrier
to entry with regard to ASN allocation should the member require one.
I just don't subscribe to this "I may one day require one so give it
to me now"

It's the same as saying "I don't require an IPv6 allocation today, but
I anticipate that at some point I'll need a /10.  Just give it all to
me now so that I don't have to make difficult design decisions later."

If everyone gets one then I can live with that.  What I can't live
with is opening up a can of worms with a "I might one day need
something so please allocate it now".  It's a dangerous slippery
slope.Today ASNs, Tomorrow IPv4, next day IPv6.

Re: [sig-policy] [New Policy Proposal] prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria

2015-02-27 Thread Dean Pemberton
So it's back to what I said originally.  You're claiming that an ASN
is required in order to be a fully fledged member of the PI utilising
community.
You're also claiming that an ASN isn't an operational element anymore,
that it's more like a license to be able to use PI space to it's
fullest extend.

If it is true, then the only sensible way forward is to allocate them
as you become a community member.

So we're back to "Become an APNIC member, get an ASN"

Is that really what people are saying and is it really a sensible thing here?

The Policy-SIG is also open to anyone where as the consensus at the AMM is
members only.
It also seemed like it gave people a time to get additional input/feedback
between the Policy-SIG and the AMM.

Re: [sig-policy] New version of prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria

Just to clarify.

This still looks to remove needs based allocation and shift that to an
"ability to advertise".

Am I missing something here?

[sig-policy] Fwd: Idea for 1.2.3.0/24

2015-05-21 Thread Dean Pemberton
Oops wrong button :)

-- Forwarded message --
From: *Dean Pemberton* 
Date: Friday, 22 May 2015
Subject: [sig-policy] Idea for 1.2.3.0/24
To: David Huberman 


Hi David, Everyone

If APNIC were to just sell this off then there is no saying that it won't
just appear in some large providers NAT pool.

I've just visited some providers who wanted address space so much they
would probably bid for this just to have 1.2.3.4 as a flag to wave and the
rest of the /24 just sits in their CGN. That would be terrible for anyone
whose sessions were associated with these addresses.

I won't elaborate here but there are even potential security issues related
with a malicious actor being able to redirect this about of traffic.

Any of these would be a net loss to the Internet community.

So how can we turn this into a net win?

I'm not that concerned about the money. Good things can be done with
auction proceeds, but good ideas can come from people without money too.

For example what if an individual has a great idea to use 1.2.3.4 for the
common good but would never have an ability to win an auction?  They
might also have no ability to purchase infrastructure to make the idea
happen.

Nat Morris for eg runs a great any cast DNS service helping lots of
people but I'm pretty sure his wife and dog would notice him going up
against large corps in an auction.

What about this.

We take suggestions for the best 'public good' use of 1.2.3.4.
For each of the ideas, let the community show support "a thumbs up/down" if
you will. Also for each of them allow organisations to pitch to deliver it.

Market it as recycling trash even :)

This way the good idea can come from anyone in any part of the world as
long as it benefits all internet users. And large corporations can still
get some exposure by offering to make it happen.

Imagine the photoshoot. Smart up-and-coming engineer from an LDC alongside
a large multinational helping APNIC to make a difference to us all.

Thoughts?

Re: [sig-policy] Idea for 1.2.3.0/24

2015-05-21 Thread Dean Pemberton
No worries.
I'm less worried about the use of this prefix than its use 'for good'.

We do have to remember that this prefix is the IP equivalent of 256 barrels
of radioactive waste. Toxic to all who touch them. I'm sure Geoff can give
the exact Geiger counter measurements :)

I'm in favour of finding a use for this prefix, but we have a duty of care
to ensure that end users are not harmed.

Supporting someone who can reuse toxic waste to fight cancer...  Great Idea!
Selling it to the highest bidder to use as a cheap house paint additive...
Not such a great idea.  Even if you donate the money to charity.


Thanks for bringing this topic up David, now we just have to find the right
thing to support.

Ideas?

Dean

Re: [sig-policy] An interesting policy question

2015-12-06 Thread Dean Pemberton
Good Morning,

InternetNZ, as the host of APRICOT 2016 would like to take this opportunity
to reiterate that it seeks to support the APNIC Policy SIG session during
APRICOT 2016 to be an environment where everyone can have their point of
view heard in a safe environment.

To this end InternetNZ, in association with the APIA board, have worked to
develop the following Code of Conduct / Anti-harrassment Policy which will
be in place for the entire APRICOT 2016 summit.

We look forward to ensuring that everyone has a great time.
See you all in Auckland!

Regards
Dean

Re: [sig-policy] Prop-115 revised.

2016-02-09 Thread Dean Pemberton
Fujisaki-San.

Thank you for this updated submission.

I would like to address one point you make in your email.
You seem to be suggesting that this proposal is not yet complete and the
authors are in fact seeking community feedback at this time.

"At this time, in the next sig meeting, we would like to discuss more about
the methods and find a conclusion."

While this is understandable, I believe that there are some aspects of this
situation which need to be addressed.

a) if there is an acknowledgement by the authors that the proposal is as
yet incomplete, then it should be withdrawn and an 'informational' session
held at the policy sig in its place.

b) there may be a feeling by the authors that a proposal is the only
mechanism available to them. They may feel that the community provides
inadequate feedback unless there is a proposal being discussed.   I have
some sympathy for this point of view, but I believe that it sets a
dangerous precedent  where proposals are brought to the community where a
more informal method of engagement would be more appropriate.

c) InternetNZ has a number of policy principles which guide its response to
issues. One of them is:

"Internet governance should be determined by open, multi-stakeholder
processes."

Even with the advances in Policy SIG remote participation, care must be
taken before points discussed at the policy sig meeting could be claimed to
be supported by a multi-stakeholder process.
If for example we find ourselves at a Policy SIG meeting making substantive
changes to a policy before calling for consensus, it could be argued that
this excludes a significant proportion of the Internet community who may be
effected by these changes.
Ensuring that policy wording is essentially complete, and presented to the
mailing list by the time the meeting starts ensures that the largest
possible community has had an opportunity for engagement and therefore can
be considered a true multi-stakeholder process.

Therefore I suggest the following ways forward

1)  If the authors feel that the proposal will not be complete by the time
of the Policy SIG meeting, that the proposal be reframed as an
Informational Session for community discussion during the meeting

or

2)  That the authors lead an open discussion of the methods on the mailing
list with a view to presenting a single finished version before the Policy
SIG meeting.  This will ensure that substantive changes are not required
