Dear Colleagues, I am Satoru Tsurumaki from Japan Open Policy Forum Steering Team.
I would like to share key feedback in our community for prop-149, based on a meeting we organised on 15th Feb to discuss these proposals. Negative opinion were expressed on this proposal. (comment details) - IPv4 addresses do not have to be used up. What is the problem if they are kept dead for 4 years? - Since the last IPv4 delegation was originally intended for transition to IPv6, there would be no need to change the delegation size if that had not changed. - We should go back to the original purpose of ipv4 delegation. It was to encourage players such as newcomers to organize IPv6 network. To do this, they need a certain amount of ipv4 in IPv6 NW. So we should keep ipv4 in pool until we no longer need to use ipv4.

Problem statement > -------------------- > Over the last three years, no more than 8,00,000 IPv4 addresses have > been reassigned in a single year. > > Status of IPv4 Allocation by APNIC in 2022: > > Available Pool: 2,593,792 IPv4 Address | about 5,066 Of /23 > Reserved Pool: 1,702,144 IPv4 Address | about 3,300 Of /23 > > A sizable portion of the IPv4 pool is 'available+reserved' at APNIC.

Objective of policy change > ----------------------------- > According to the current IPv4 allocation policy, APNIC account holders > are only qualified to receive IPv4 > address delegations totaling a maximum of 512 (/23) from the APNIC 103/8 > IPv4 address pool. The current > minimum delegation size for IPv4 is 256 (/24) addresses.
