Dear Colleagues,

And, here is prop-115. No comment has not been made for this proposal.

If reached consensus, it may needs significant change for whois database.
I just reviewed implementation impact assessment by the Secretariat,
and it says it might take more than 6 months.
I think same thing will happen for whois database of each NIRs.
And if your company have a system linked with APNIC/NIR whois database, it
will be impacted also.

As Chair, I'm always very neutral for each proposal, including prop-115.
However, I would like to emphasis prop-115 should be discussed more widely
as it has wide impact.
It is very appreciated if you will express your views.

Regards,
Masato Yamanishi, Policy SIG Chair (Acting)

> 1. Problem statement
> --------------------
>
>     Recently, there are some cases need to get IP address assignment
>     information in more detail to specify user IP address.
>
>     With out this information, operators cannot filter out specific
>     address range, and it might lead to 'over-filter' (i.e. filtering
>     whole ISP's address range).
>
>     For example:
>
>     1) 'Port' range information in IPv4
>
>         ISPs are using 'CGN' or other kinds of IPv4 address sharing
>         technology with assignment of IP address and specified port
>         range to their users.
>
>         In this case, port information is necessary to specify one user.
>
>         ex) 192.0.2.24/32 1-256 is for HomeA
>             192.0.2.24/32 257-511 is for HomeB
>
>         or 192.0.2.0/24 1-65536 is shared address of ISP-X
>         minimum size is /32
>
>     2) address assignment size information in IPv6
>
>        The IPv6 address assignment size may be different from ISP to
>        ISP, and address ranges in one ISP. Address assignment prefix
>        size will be necessary.
>
>        ex) 2001:db8:1::0/56 is for HomeA
>            2001:db8:1:1::0/48 is for HomeB
>
>            or 2001:db8:1::/36's minimum size is /56
>
>
> 2. Objective of policy change
> -----------------------------
>
>     Lots of operators look a record when harmful behavior coming to
>     their network to identify its IP address confirming it can be
>     filtered or not.
>
>     The goal is providing more specific information to support these
>     actions.
>
>
> 3. Situation in other regions
> -----------------------------
>
>     No same regulation/discussion can be seen in other regions.
>
>
> 4. Proposed policy solution
> ---------------------------
>
>     Provide accurate filtering information generated from whois DB.
>
>     For IPv4, propose to add 'port range' information to IP address
>     entry.
>
>     For IPv6, propose to provide 'assignment prefix size' information
>     for specific IPv6 address.
>
>
> 5. Advantages / Disadvantages
> -----------------------------
>
> Advantages:
>
>  - operators can set filtering by IP address based on correct assignment
>    information base.
>
>  - users who share same address space can be avoid to be including bulk
>    filtering.
>
> Disadvantages:
>
>  - registration rule will move to more strict manner.
>
>  - strict watch and control in registration of database records.
>
>  - additional record or option will be considered.
>
>  - privilege for withdrawing detailed information will be set for these
>    records.
>
>
> 6. Impact on APNIC
> ------------------
>
>     This might be beyond the scope of using whois DB.
>
>
> 7. Other Consideration
> ----------------------
>
>     For the security reason, this detailed records may be able to see
>     only by operators.(some kind of user control/privilege setting is
>     needed)
>
>     For hosting services, /32 in IPv4 and /128 in IPv6 registration
>     should be discussed based on its operability and possibility. But a
>     harmful activities to filter by IP addresses are coming from hosting
>     services as well. Here it seemed to be some demands.
