Dear all,
Here is the Secretariat impact assessment for proposal "prop-139-v001:
SOR not required".
This proposal appears to be straightforward. APNIC notes the deletion of
LIR "Assignment
Window (AW) and Second Opinion Request (SOR)" from the policy manual,
and it is unlikely
to change current practices for evaluating requests.
This proposal would require changes to the website content and procedure
documents,
but not require any changes to the systems.
If this proposal reaches consensus, implementation can be completed
within 3 months.
Regards,
Sunny

prop-139-v001: SOR not required
-------------------------------------------------------
Proposer: Jordi Palet Martínez ([email protected])
1. Problem statement
--------------------
Section 5.2.1 enforces a SOR (Second Opinion Request) process, which
is rarely used.
It was meant for ensuring that resources aren’t wasted being allocated
unnecessarily, however, this is already the job of the LIRs, and they
may be audited at any point, even if this policy doesn’t exist.
Further to that, doesn’t make sense that this is being done for
exhausted IPv4 resources, while it has been already avoided for IPv6.
2. Objective of policy change
-----------------------------
Avoiding an unnecessary and rarely used process.
3. Situation in other regions
-----------------------------
Other RIRs don’t have this process or it is optional/not used.
4. Proposed policy solution
---------------------------
Actual text:
5.0. Resource Management
...
Also, NIRs must, wherever possible, apply slow start, assignment
window, and second opinion policies to their own members in a manner
consistent with the way APNIC applies such policies.
...
5.2.1. Assignment window for LIRs
APNIC and NIRs shall apply an assignment window mechanism to help LIRs
understand and comply with APNIC policies and the address management
goals.
The assignment window indicates the maximum number of addresses an LIR
may delegate to an end-user without first seeking a "second opinion".
If an LIR wishes to make a delegation that exceeds its delegation
window, the LIR must first submit a second opinion request.
LIRs start with a delegation window of zero, meaning all proposed
delegations must first be approved.
APNIC, or the relevant NIR, will regularly assess the proficiency of
LIR staff in making delegations and seeking second opinions and will
review the size of the assignment window accordingly. As the LIR staff
become more proficient, the size of their assignment window may be
raised.
The maximum IPv4 assignment window given to any LIR will be a /19
(8,192 addresses).
If an LIR's staff appears to become less proficient (for example, due
to the training of new staff or other relevant circumstances) then
that LIR's assignment window may be temporarily reduced.
5.2.3. IPv4 Delegations to downstream IRs
…
• Delegations are subject to the LIR's assignment window. Requests for
delegations, which exceed the LIR's assignment window, must first be
referred to APNIC for second opinion approval.
…

own members in a manner consistent with the way APNIC applies such
policies.

5. Advantages / Disadvantages
-----------------------------
Advantages:
Fulfilling the objective above indicated.
Disadvantages:
None.
6. Impact on resource holders
-----------------------------
None.
7. References
-------------
None.
