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-152, based on a meeting we organised on 30th Aug to discuss these proposals. Almostly neutral opinions were expressed about this proposal. (comment details) - Organizations that assigned only /24 under the current policy should have been able to assign an additional /24, so consideration should be given to such organizations. - Since the current policy is the result of sufficient similar discussions, there is no need to change the policy to postpone the exhaustion. - There are other means of acquiring addresses, such as transfer.

Problem statement > -------------------- > APNIC's available IPv4 addresses in the final 103/8 are down to 0.3%, > and APNIC will soon begin > delegating from the recovered and/or reserved address space. > > Delegated: 887,431,680 (99.5%) > Available: 2,792,192 (0.3%) > Reserved: 1,293,568 (0.1%) > > Note: ‘Reserved’, as defined by APNIC, means the resource has not been > allocated or assigned to > any entity and is not available for allocation or assignment.

Objective of policy change > ----------------------------- > The current final /8 allocation policy[1] requires that the current > minimum delegation size for > IPv4 is a /24 and each APNIC account holder is only eligible to receive > IPv4 address delegations > totalling a maximum /23 from the APNIC 103/8 IPv4 address pool. > > As stated above, the available APNIC 103/8 IPv4 address pool for APNIC > account holders is shrinking. > > At the rate of current delegation size, it is expected that this pool > will be depleted in 2024. > > To further accelerate Internet growth in the Asia Pacific region, it is > recommended that some > IPv4 address space be made available in the APNIC service region for new > businesses, startups, > and so on, so that they can prepare for IPv6 migration rather than > purchasing market transfers, > which may be prohibitively expensive for new entrants. > > Account holders who have already received IPv4 addresses will be > motivated to implement IPv6. > > > 3. Situation in other regions > ----------------------------- > There is no similar policy in place in other RIR regions. > > > 4. Proposed policy solution > --------------------------- > 1. No change to the current policy[1] to current minimum delegation size > for IPv4 is a /24 and > each APNIC account holder is only eligible to receive IPv4 address > delegations totalling a > maximum /23 from the APNIC 103/8 IPv4 address pool. APNIC can continue > with this policy until > all of the available 2,792,192 (0.3%) resources are depleted. > > 2. Once the available 2,792,192 (0.3%) resources are depleted, APNIC and > NIR account holders > who already received IPv4 address space cannot receive any further IPv4 > addresses. > > 3. APNIC and NIRs will delegate a maximum of /24 IPv4 addresses to their > new account holders, > with no IPv4 addresses, from the current 'Reserved' pool and any > subsequent reserved pool in > the future which will be made available for delegation. > > 4. If APNIC runs out of all of IPv4 addresses, a waiting list for new > requestors with no IPv4 > addresses must be created on a first come, first served basis. > > > 5. Advantages / Disadvantages > ----------------------------- > Advantages: > This proposal allows new businesses, startups, and so on to access the > IPv4 resources in the APNIC region. > This proposal also can help in the uptake of IPv6 deployments in the > APNIC region. > > Disadvantages: > No disadvantages are foreseen. > > > 6.
