9. prop-129: Abolish Waiting list for unmet IPv4
requests
• Proposal
• Abolish the current waiting list and once the APNIC receives IPv4
recovered address space from IANA or recovered by themselves
(through closures or returns etc) then it should be treated under the
same policy as last /8 (103/8)
• Status
• Reached consensus in Policy SIG Meeting
!9

10. prop-128: Multihoming not required for ASN
• Proposal
• To ensure that organizations which have their own routing policy and
the need to interconnect with other organizations, can do it.
• Interconnect is used here with the commonly understood meaning of
establishing a connection between two (administratively) separate
networks.
• Status
• Reached consensus in Policy SIG Meeting

11. prop-127: Change maximum delegation size
of 103/8 IPv4 address pool to a /23
• Proposal
• This proposal is to change the maximum size of IPv4 address
delegations from the APNIC 103/8 IPv4 address pool to a /23. /23 is
important because new ISPs can use /24 for internal infrastructure
and /24 customer assignments and NAT for IPv6 transition.
• Status
• Reached consensus in Policy SIG Meeting
!11

12. prop-126: PDP update
• Proposal
• To allow that consensus is determined also looking at the opinions of
community members that are not able to travel to the meetings, adjust
the time required before the relevant SIG to submit the proposals, not
requiring “double” consensus with the APNIC members and
facilitating a simple method for appeals.
• Status
• Did not reached consensus in Policy SIG Meeting
!12

13. prop-124: Clarification on IPv6 sub-assignments
• Proposal
• This proposal clarifies this situation in this regard and better define
the concept, particularly considering new uses of IPv6 (RFC 8273), by
means of a new paragraph.
• Status
• Did not reached consensus in Policy SIG Meeting
