The RFC 2050 Working Group has called for volunteers to participate in the redrafting of RFC 2050 (Internet Registry IP Allocation Guidelines). This follows presentations by the Working Group at recent meetings of all three Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), including APNIC 13 held in Bangkok, Thailand in March 2002, and the ASO General Assembly.

The RFC 2050 Working Group was established in September 2001 with the objective of addressing the issues relating to relevance of RFC 2050 to the needs of today's Internet registry system. The group is responsible for evaluating RFC 2050 and for proposing a method of replacing it with a new document or documents. APNIC encourages those in the Asia Pacific region with an interest in IP address policy to volunteer to work in small editorial teams to draft and edit the new documents proposed by the Working Group, including:

IP-ADDRdoc 1: Instructions to editors and authors of IP-ADDRdocs

IP-ADDRdoc 2: A guide to addressing policy, allocation, and principles

IP-ADDRdoc 3: The principles of IP address allocation for IPv4

IP-ADDRdoc 4: The principles of IP address allocation for IPv6

IP-ADDRdoc 5: The principles of AS number assignment

IP-ADDRdoc 6: Criteria guidelines for IPv4 address allocation

IP-ADDRdoc 7: Reverse mapping services for IPv4

IP-ADDRdoc 8: Addressing and numbering organizations and relationships

The Working Group is seeking volunteers to draft and edit these documents, in particular, IP-ADDRdocs 1,2,3 and 5. To volunteer please email the Working Group Chair, Mr Mark McFadden indicating which documents you would like to work on.

To subscribe to the RFC 2050 Working Group mailing list send an email with the word "Subscribe" in the subject field to 2050-wg-request@arin.net.
