Dear SIG members,The Secretariat's impact assessment for this proposal is provided below as well as published at:
http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-158
APNIC notes that this proposal suggests automatically delegating IPv6 address resource to new and initial IPv4 requests to accelerate IPv6 implementation.
APNIC also notes that this proposal is applicable to both APNIC and NIR account holders.
Questions/Comments:- The current APNIC Membership form allows account holders to request multiple IP resources (IPv4, IPv6, and ASN) while applying for APNIC membership. Account holders can also simply get an IPv6 delegation by one-click process in MyAPNIC.
- The proposal suggests “Automatically delegated IPv6 address should be put into deployment within two years from the date of the delegation”. Is the intention that the outcome of not complying with this policy is the revocation of just the IPv6 resources, also the IPv4 resources applied for at the same time, or an alternative option?
- If the account holder requests a /23 IPv4 and is also automatically delegated a /32 IPv6, the fees payable by the account holder will increase as the fee for /32 IPv6 is greater than /23 IPv4.
Implementation:If this proposal reaches consensus, implementation may be completed within three months.

Dear SIG members,A new proposal "prop-158-v001: IPv6 auto-allocation for each IPv4 request"has been sent to the Policy SIG for review. It will be presented at the Open Policy Meeting (OPM) at APNIC 57 on Thursday, 29 February 2024. https://2024.apricot.net/program/program/#/day/9/ We invite you to review and comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the OPM. The comment period on the mailing list before the OPM is an important part of the Policy Development Process (PDP). We encourage you to express your views on the proposal: - Do you support or oppose this proposal? - Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation. - Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal? - Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear?- What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective?Information about this proposal is appended below as well as available at:http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-158 Regards, Bertrand, Shaila, and Anupam APNIC Policy SIG Chairs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prop-158-v001: IPv6 auto-allocation for each IPv4 request ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposers: David Aditya Yoga Pratama ([email protected]) M. Andri Setiawan ([email protected]) 1. Problem statement -------------------------Based on this https://www.apnic.net/manage-ip/ipv4-exhaustion/#how-much-apnic-has, APNIC still has around 2,539,776 available IPv4 addresses and may claimed another 2,479,360 reserved IPv4 addresses.APNIC member still can get /24 of IPv4 addresses based on the current APNIC policy.Most of the new IPv4 requestors are not allocated or requesting IPv6 even though they are eligible to do so.The rates of IPv4 allocation is faster than IPv6 allocation and it may keep slow the deployment of IPv6.APNIC associate member can get IPv6 without additional cost (proposal-155), so APNIC member should be able to do the same when they request IPv4 address.2. Objective of policy change ----------------------------------Allocate IPv6 addresses to each IPv4 addresses requests to speed up the IPv6 adoption and deployment rates.3. Situation in other regions -------------------------------- AFRINIC - No such policy ARIN - No such policy and it has no available address space to be offeredRIPE NCC - No such policy and it has no available address space to be offered LACNIC - IPv6 allocation request is used as “requirements” for any IPv4 request as mentioned in their policy point 2.3.3.1 - 2.3.3.4 and 2.3.4. “The applicant must already have at least one IPv6 block assigned by LACNIC or, if not, must simultaneously request an initial IPv6 block in accordance with the corresponding applicable policy. (If an applicant has already been assigned an IPv6 block, they shall submit to LACNIC a brief document describing their progress in the implementation of IPv6.)”4. Proposed policy solution --------------------------------Add this to Section "6.1. Minimum and maximum IPv4 delegations" of the APNIC Policy document.For all new and initial IPv4 delegation requests, APNIC and NIR will automatically delegates IPv6 address, matching the IPv6 policy in Section 8.2.1 (i.e allocation or assignment).Automatically delegated IPv6 address should be put into deployment within two years from the date of the delegation, same as Point 3 in Section 8.2.2.For any subsequent IPv4 requests, APNIC and NIR account holder should be able to demonstrate the deployment status of the automatically delegated IPv6 address space. APNIC and NIR may verify these details with the publicly available routing/BGP data and any other sourceses.5. Advantages / Disadvantages ------------------------------------ Advantages: -Maintain the consistency mapping between IPv4 and IPv6 allocation. -Speed up the adoption of IPv6 addresses. Disadvantages: -The allocated IPv6 may not be deployed by the LIRs on time. -Change on the resources allocation system at APNIC. 6. Impact on resource holders ----------------------------------- No Impact on resource holders. Impact on APNIC:- Change the allocation system at APNIC to automatically allocate IPv6 without any options to select IPv4 address, IPv6 address or both. - It may change the pricing scheme without considering IPv6 address allocation when member request both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.7.
