______________________________________________________________________ DRAFT TRANSCRIPT Session: APNIC Member Meeting Date: Friday 3 March 2006 Time: 2.00pm Presentation: Policy SIG report Presenter: Kenny Huang ______________________________________________________________________ PAUL WILSON: Kenny - the Policy SIG. KENNY HUANG: Kenny Huang again. Here I'm giving the report regarding the 13th Policy SIG report. That's the history. We are moving to the 13th Policy SIG in Perth, year 2006. And that's address policy SIG agenda. We have review of open action items, IAB report, IP policy update - comparative status in all RIR regions and proposal 32-v002, proposal by Geoff Huston. And also IPv6 portable assignment for multihoming, large IPv4 address space usage trial for future IPv6, survey results in JP on IPv6 policy change, and issue with critical inform structure assignment size. So that's a head count for each session. For first session, we had 56 people attend Policy SIG and also we had 18 participants in Jabber chat. For session 2, we had 60 participants. That's the content of the SIG. We had 1 policy proposal. The policy proposal reached consensus in the OPM so consensus is needed from the annual member meeting. We had six informational presentations. That's the first policy proposal. Proposal 032-v002: 4-byte AS number, proposed by Geoff Huston. I'll try to brief. The proposal proposed AS assignment transition in three phases. The first - commencing on 1 January 2007, the registry will process applications for 32-bit only AS numbers upon specific request. 16-bit only AS numbers will be assigned by default. Commencing on 1 January 2005, the registry will assign 32-bit only AS numbers by default. 16-bit only AS numbers will be assigned upon specific request. Commencing on 1 January year 2010, the registry will assign from the extended AS number space. So the proposal reached consensus at the OPM so later we need to seek for consensus from annual member meeting. PAUL WILSON: I think we can do that now. KENNY HUANG: OK. I'll try to finish quickly. That's the summary of the informational presentation. We've got IAB report presented by Leslie, talking about IETF and IAB introduction. And also IP policy update presented by Save. And proposal 20-001, application of HD-ratio to IPv4 was first discussed in APNIC 18 and also updated in APNIC 19. We've conducted various LIR survey and also a lot of discussion in the mailing list. And another informational presentation is IPv6 portable assignment for multihoming presented by Hosaka-san, also the co-chair of Policy SIG. Another informational presentation include large IPv4 address space usage trial for future IPv6. That's presented by Ito-san. And survey results in Japan - a policy change presented by Izumi and also finally we have issue regarding critical infrastructure and assignment size presented by Billy, an EC member. For action item, we have one action item as I mentioned earlier. Proposal 20-001, application of HD-ratio to IPv4. Since this has been an open action item in policy SIG for some time. We tried to solicit as much discussion as possible but unfortunately it didn't have much response from the community so from the Policy SIG we decided to take it back in the mailing list for another one month to see how it's going and if still the discussion is not very active, then the chair and co-chair will probably decide and discuss. Either we will abandon the proposal or see how to make a next-step decision. That's open action items. So the next step will be the policy proposal, proposal 32-v002: 4-byte AS number, proposed by Geoff Huston and regarding to this proposal, we need to seek consensus from the AMM so I'll switch the mic over the to Paul. PAUL WILSON: OK. According to the APNIC policy process, the role of the special interest groups is to discuss the policy proposals presented to them in some detail and to arrive at a consensus decision, hopefully, about those proposals or else to reject or defer them. So this is one proposal that has been accepted by the consensus of the SIG. The policy process then requires that the APNIC member meeting endorse the consensus of the SIG, which is what we are going to do now before we go into a comment period, which allows the consensus to be further tested before the consensus could then be declared by the SIG chair and the policy accepted. So what I'd like to do is ask for a show of hands of those who will endorse the consensus of the SIG, that is to accept the policy proposal regarding 4-byte AS numbers. Before I do that, I'll ask if there's any questions or comments about it. If not, then could I ask you to raise your hand if you are supporting the consensus of the SIG on accepting this policy proposal. (Pause) Can you raise quite high so a rough count can be taken? OK. Thank you. Is there anyone who's against this policy proposal being accepted here? (None) OK. I think we have consensus on this proposal. So, as I say, this consensus result is now open for discussion and further comment. If any, on the policy SIG mailing list and, after the comment period, then the SIG chair will advise the APNIC EC accordingly and the APNIC EC then can endorse that consensus result and ask the Secretariat to go ahead with the implementation sage. Any questions? (None) OK. Thank you very much. KENNY HUANG: Thank you.
