If I understood correctly the implications of the EC decision, *if* tis policy 
proposal doesn’t go thru they will become reserved anyway.

 

Could the staff confirm that?

 

Instead, with the proposal, there will be additional 12 months, to react before 
that.

Hi Jordi and SIG

The implication of your proposal, by 5.1.4, is that by putting them in Reserved 
status, APNIC will assign them RPKI ROA AS0 and deny them routing on the 
Internet.  You will then allow them 12 months grace after you have denied their 
operation to officially claim them.  Your update from 6 to 12 months has not 
allowed APNIC any more time to contact custodians.

 

I agree with Andrew that the current impact is too large and too damaging to 
internet end point users in your proposed time frame.

 

I believe APNIC members should asess the progress of the HRM project in 12 
months time and consider your proposal then, rather than mandating in a policy 
final date in this cycle, despite your afore mentioned risks.

 

Regards,

    Brett

Hi Andrew, all,

 

I see it otherwise.

 

We are providing APNIC one year to resolve the remaining cases. If we don’t 
have this policy on January 1st 2023, all those addresses will be “frozen” into 
reserved status.

 

Please note this:

 

“The recent EC resolution (22nd February 2022), imply that historical resource 
holders in the APNIC region would need to become Members or Non-Members by 1st 
January 2023 in order to receive registration services. Failing this, 
historical resource registration will no longer be published in the APNIC Whois 
Database and said resources will be placed into reserved status.”

 

Failing to reach consensus on this proposal (suggestions to improve it, of 
course, are welcome, as we can publish new versions in the next few days), 
means that we can’t change the situation up to a new alternative proposal reach 
consensus, which could happen around March 2023, or may be September 2023. Till 
then those resources are “lost” in the wild.

 

Resources in the wild could be more easily hijacked or used for all kind of 
malicious activities. Do you think the community should accept that risk?

 

In the impact analysis of the first version, APNIC indicated that 6 months may 
be too short, and 12 months will be safer, so we opted for keeping the 12 
months option only. Do you have any data that suggest that APNIC will be unable 
to complete the project in the next year?

Jordi

Hi,

 

Thanks for this data vivek.

 

On the basis of this I cannot suggest this proposal can be accepted - the 
impact is too large.

 

Certainly we, as a community, and APNIC as a whole, need to look at what can be 
done to assist these prefixes coming "into the fold" - but with 581 still with 
no response, and 175 "not yet done" - the risk of this proposal having adverse 
consequences on the routing table is too great.

Hi Andrew,

 

Please see my responses below.

 

> a) the number of legacy resources currently in use (as in, visible in the

We started this project in February this year and identified 3932 historical 
IPv4 prefixes that were not managed under an APNIC account. 885 of these 
prefixes are currently visible in the routing table. Following if the breakdown 
of these 885 prefixes.

 

Retained by custodian: 81

These prefixes have successfully been claimed and are managed under active 
APNIC accounts now.

 

Being claimed by custodian: 175

We are in contact with the potential custodians and they are in the process of 
claiming these prefixes. 

 

No response: 581

We have sent emails to the custodians but have not got a response as yet. We 
are in the process to find alternate contacts by contacting the ASN announcing 
these prefixes. 

 

Yet to contact: 44

No valid contact information available in whois. We are in the process to look 
for alternate contacts via publicly available searches as well as contacting 
the ASN announcing these prefixes.    

 

No longer needed: 4

The custodians have informed us they no longer need these prefixes. We are in 
the process to contact the ASN announcing these prefixes to check why they are 
announcing them.

 

> b) the number of legacy resource claims that have been attempted but not 
> successfully justified

 

So far we have not formally rejected any claims. Where a claimant does not 
provide sufficient information to support their claim, we do not reject the 
claim but rather advise them we will need more information in order to properly 
assess it. We have 3 pending cases where we have requested additional 
supporting information and one case where the custodian has refused to setup an 
APNIC account. We will continue to assist them with their claims through the 
year.

 

Thanks

Vivek

I am aware that this has remained a topic of concern for a number of APNIC 
members and technical engineers, and many have been working with APNIC to try 
and resolve resource allocations with various degrees of success.

Hi Sunny, all,

 

Just summited a new proposal version amending the editorial inputs and also 
adding the following text:

“Furthermore, from 1st January 2023, all historical resources need to be 
maintained in a current APNIC account. In the event of an account closure, the 
historical resource will be placed in a quarantine period and then made 
available for re-delegation similar to current resources.”

 

Also, in order to facilitate the job, I agree that will be safer to move to a 
single option with 12 months, so I’ve deleted the “2 choices” in the new 
version.

Hi all, 

This is the secretariat's impact assessment for prop-147-v001, which is also 
available on the proposal page.

    http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-147

APNIC understands that this proposal suggests that historical IPv4 resources be 
justified and claimed, or that they be made available to other organizations 
that require them.

APNIC also notes the deletion of Section 4.2.1. Recovery of unused historical 
resources. As reported to the community at APNIC 50, this may no longer be 
applicable once the project is completed, possibly by the end of 2022.

https://conference.apnic.net/50/assets/files/APCS790/Reclaiming-unused-IPv4.pdf

Recommendations:

For consistency of language and to align with the current policy document, the 
reference to "available pool" could be changed to "free pool". Also the 
reference to "original resource holder" and "original custodians" could be 
changed to "custodian/s".

Given the number of uncontactable resource holders, the 12-month option would 
be safer for APNIC to implement, as some historical resource holders may not be 
aware of the changes to the treatment of historical resources until they are 
placed into reserved status on January 1, 2023.

Clarification:

This proposal only addresses historical resources that have not been claimed by 
January 1st, 2023. It does not specify what happens to the historical resources 
that are claimed, but the Member or Non-Member account is not renewed after 
January 1, 2023. These resources will be considered historical and may remain 
in reserve status indefinitely.

Sunny

---------------------------------------------------------------
 
prop-147-v001: Historical Resources Management
 
----------------------------------------------------------------
 
Proposer: Jordi Palet Martinez ([email protected])
          Anupam Agrawal ([email protected])
 
 
1. Problem statement
--------------------
Section 4.2.1 is outdated and only looking for very old non-routed resources.
 
The recent EC resolution (22nd February 2022), imply that historical resource 
holders in the APNIC region would need to become Members or Non-Members by 1st 
January 2023 in order to receive registration services. Failing this, 
historical resource registration will no longer be published in the APNIC Whois 
Database and said resources will be placed into reserved status.
 
Given the continued need for IPv4 addresses, it would seem illogical to keep 
these unused historical resources in reserve indefinitely. Alternatively, these 
resources can be used in a way that is sufficiently justified in accordance 
with existing policies, allowing other organizations to benefit from them 
during the IPv6 transition.
 
 
2. Objective of policy change
-----------------------------
Ensure that historical IPv4 resources are justified and claimed, or that they 
are available for other organizations that require them.
 
If the resources are marked as reserved, the original holders may reclaim them 
with a valid justification, when APNIC failed to contact them for whatever 
reason.
 
One example of a valid justification is the case where an organization is 
actually using them internally and there are valid reasons to instead use 
RFC1918 space, however the space is not routed.
 
To give the original resource holders more time to reclaim them, we propose two 
time-frames for the community discussion and consideration: 6 months and 12 
months.
 
 
3. Situation in other regions
-----------------------------
In other RIRs legacy resources lose their legacy status when the RSA is signed 
(upon receiving other resources), so they become under the regular monitoring. 
In other cases, there is nothing specified by policies.
 
 
4. Proposed policy solution
---------------------------
Proposed policy solution (option 6-months):
 
Actual text:
4.2.1. Recovery of unused historical resources   (remove)
To recover these globally un-routed resources and place them back in the free 
pool for re-delegation, APNIC will contact networks responsible for historical 
address space in the APNIC region that has not been globally routed since 1 
January 1998. 
 
To recover un-routed historical AS numbers, APNIC will contact networks 
responsible for resources not globally used for a reasonable period of time.    
 
Proposed text:
4.3. Historical Resources Management
Historical resources that have not been claimed by the original resource holder 
will be deleted from the APNIC Whois database after 1st January 2023, and 
marked as reserved.
 
Historical resources marked as reserved have an additional six (6) months to be 
claimed by their original custodians. After that, APNIC will add these 
resources to the available pool for re-delegation.
 
Proposed policy solution (option 12-months):
Actual text:
4.2.1. Recovery of unused historical resources   (remove)
To recover these globally un-routed resources and place them back in the free 
pool for re-delegation, APNIC will contact networks responsible for historical 
address space in the APNIC region that has not been globally routed since 1 
January 1998. 
 
To recover un-routed historical AS numbers, APNIC will contact networks 
responsible for resources not globally used for a reasonable period of time.    
   
Proposed text:
4.3. Historical Resources Management
Historical resources that have not been claimed by the original resource holder 
will be deleted from the APNIC Whois database after 1st January 2023, and 
marked as reserved.
 
Historical resources marked as reserved have an additional twelve (12) months 
to be claimed by their original custodians. After that, APNIC will add these 
resources to the available pool for re-delegation.
 
 
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
-----------------------------
Advantages:
Fulfilling the objective above indicated.
 
Disadvantages:
None.
 
 
6. Impact on resource holders
-----------------------------
None.
 
 
7. References
-------------
None.
