And the last one will be 'Issue with critical infrastructure assignment size' presented by Billy Cheon from KRNIC. OK, that's the order of today's agenda. So, OK, I want to go to the first agenda item. OK, first of all, welcome to the Policy SIG, again. For Policy SIG, the charter: "The charter of the policy SIG is to develop policies and procedures which relate to the management and use of Internet address resources by APNIC, NIRs and ISPs within the Asia Pacific region." And the chair is Kenny Huang, is myself, and also we have co-chair Toshi-san and Eugene Li, sitting on my left-hand side. For policy documents, you can download the documents. For current policies, go to www.apnic.net/docs and for drafts go to www.apnic.net/docs/drafts and for proposals go to www.apnic.net/policy/proposals. Just try to remind again of the policy development timeline. Starting from - we have four phases of policy development, starting from need and discussion, consensus and implement. And for needs, the members, APNIC members, can propose a proposal and after a comment period, four weeks before the meeting discussion and so, when we are in the stage of meeting discussion and after meeting discussion we try to seek consensus from the Policy SIG. If the consensus is reached, then the proposal will be reported to the Annual Member Meeting. Then, if the proposal reaches consensus again in the annual member meeting, they will be released to the mailing list for comment period. Once it reaches consensus again, it will be reported to EC and the EC will endorse the proposal. Finally, the proposal will be implemented in three months. That's the total time frame. Regarding to facilitating the process, policy development facilitation - APNIC Secretariat is the first contact and also SIG chairs check suitability and discussion in appropriate mailing list, discussion in upcoming SIG and annual member meeting. If you want to have a policy change, you can discussion with peers and submit a proposal using the form. You don't need to be a member to participate. The Secretariat is happy to assist if needed. You can download a policy change form from the following website (refers to slide) OK, your involvement - awareness of current policy discussion, you can check on the website. Subscribe to the post comments to the list and you can also attend APNIC meetings, access via remote participation and read minutes and meeting report. Also you can always seek for Secretariat assistance. I'll just repeat some housekeeping - for speakers, please speak slowly and clearly because most Asian-country people, their native language is not English, so please speak slowly. The session is being webcast. Remote participation is possible through the Jabber chat and open participation. Again, please use the mic to speak and, before you speak, please give your name and give your comments or questions. The discussion by consensus - here, try to mention again, not a voting. You can review the APNIC policy website and consensus means no substantial objection. So it's not voting. It's consensus seeking. So approach common agreement and compromise. So last one is open action items. We have three open action items in the APNIC 20 meeting. The first one is policy proposal - proposal 20-001 - action item is "Pending approval at each remaining stage of the policy development process, Secretariat to continue coordinating global acceptance of this policy." OK, so the Secretariat continues this job and Save, you want to comment? SAVE VOCEA: Save from APNIC Secretariat. The first action item is done and we're continuing global coordination. KENNY HUANG: OK, thank you. For the second, proposal 20-002, "Pending approval at each remaining stage of the policy development process, Secretariat to continue coordinating global acceptance of the HD-ratio component of this policy." SAVE VOCEA: This is also done. KENNY HUANG: Thank you. For the last, 20-003, "APNIC Secretariat to refer further discussion of the LIR survey to the mailing list." SAVE VOCEA: This is also done and I'll be reporting on this in my next presentation. KENNY HUANG: OK, right. Thank you for your response.
