Dear Colleagues Many of you may recall that the APNIC Secretariat has been working toward a restructure of the policy documents that govern the management of resources in the region.
Last March, I circulated a draft document that merged all seven policy documents into one policy manual. The email containing the links to those drafts is available here: http://mailman.apnic.net/mailing-lists/sig-policy/archive/2013/03/msg00002.html Since then I have had some feedback that some may find a different approach easier. Accordingly, I have identified below, a series of four options. These range from no change - maintain the seven separate documents, to keeping three or four documents. To give a sense of what this might look like, I've pasted a likely Table of Contents for each policy according to the structure of each option. I can discuss this in more detail at APNIC 37, but the idea is to either put all policies together in one policy manual, or to maintain separate IPv4, IPv6, and AS number documents. I look forward to feedback and opinions from community members, either on this list, or at the meeting.
