Dear Colleagues,
I am Satoru Tsurumaki from Policy Working Group in Japan. I would like to share key feedback in our community for prop-122, based on a meeting we organised on 5th Sep to discuss these proposals. Many opposing comments were expressed with the same reasons as for prop-121. * Under the current criteria, networks with IPv4 can receive IPv6 easily. However, with adoption of this proposal, this consideration based on IPv4 network will be removed, and the policy could become more strict for some applications. * Would like to confirm how specifically APNIC secretariat will evaluate requests under this policy. The criteria becomes ambiguous with this proposal which would make it harder for applications to prepare for the evaluation. * Approach may not be the right one to achieve the objective of IPv6 promotion * From the current IPv6 allocation criteria, it is unlikely to have many cases where criteria. d is being the barrier to receive IPv6 space.
