> One thing that must end in APNIC is the possibility for NIR to have their own set of policies.
An NIR at the APNIC level, is treated as any other APNIC member with the exception of the fees they charge. They effectively perform the same functions as an RIR, with the exception that they perform it at an economy level and not a regional level. They also do so much more than just existing to "facilitate language and cultural stuff". Why should NIRs not be able to form their own policies that may better align with their economy's systems and processes, after consultation with their members and APNIC? This is akin to saying that RIRs should not be able to adopt their own policies and instead should operate under one global policy system.
> Isn't /32 the default allocation to any ISP type of ASN (or should be) ? Why /34 ?
Yes, the minimum allocation is a /32 (an oversight on my part). Should this proposal gain consensus and be implemented, and If a member were to apply for a /24 v4 prefix for ISP/multihoming use, they would be automatically provided with a /32 v6 allocation which results in a higher fee being payable by the member. I do not believe this is the author's intention. In this case, I would recommend the authors amend the proposal to allow for longer v6 prefixes to be allocated for ISP/multihoming use.
