Re: [sig-policy] New version of prop-114: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria
Opposed as written. Vague wording which basically says that the secretariat can decide policy on a case-by-case basis is antithetical to an informed multi-stakeholder community consensus policy development process.

Problem statement - The current ASN assignment policy states two eligibility criteria and that both criteria should be fulfilled in order to obtain an ASN. The policy seems to imply that both requirements i.e. multi-homing and clearly defined single routing policy must be met simultaneously, this has created much confusion in interpreting the policy. As a result organizations have either provided incorrect information to get the ASN or barred themselves from applying where they still have a valid justification for obtaining an ASN. 2. Objective of policy change -- In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to modify the text describing the eligibility criteria for ASN assignment by providing alternate criteria to obtaining an ASN. 3. Situation in other regions ARIN: It is not mandatory but optional to be multi-homed in order get ASN RIPE: Policy to remove multi-homing requirement is currently in discussion and the current phase ends 12 February 2015 (awaiting Chair decision) Policy - https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03 https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2014-03 LACNIC: Only inter-connect is mandatory not multi-homing AFRINIC: It is mandatory to be multi-homed in order to get ASN. 4. Proposed policy solution --- An organization is eligible for an ASN assignment if: - they are currently multi-homed OR - meet one of the other criteria in the guidelines managed by the APNIC Secretariat 5. Advantages / Disadvantages - Advantages: By adding the additional criteria of Guidelines managed by APNIC Secretariat, this would enable the Secretariat to make decisions based on common or rare use cases, but that may still be a valid request. Disadvantages: It may be perceived that this policy would enable members to obtain ASN’s more easily, and in return cause faster consumption of ASN’s in the region. Given the relative ease of obtaining an ASN with ‘work around’ methods, we do not perceive this will actually have any effect. 6. Impact on resource holders --- No impact on existing resource holders. Proposed Draft Guidelines (to be created as a numbered document by APNIC) The below are example of guidelines that could be considered for alternate needs justification. The intention to multi-home in the future The applicant is participating in elastic fabrics where the requirements to connect to ‘on demand’ service providers may require ASN/BGP connectivity Regional limitation of obtaining multi-homing connectivity in the ‘immediate’ term, but want to design their networks for this capability Have a single unique routing policy different to their upstream, but yet are single-homed * sig-policy: APNIC SIG on resource management policy * ___ sig-policy mailing list sig-policy@lists.apnic.net http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/sig-policy * sig-policy: APNIC SIG
Re: [sig-policy] New version of prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria
In addition to Owen's point, I also wonder about this: AND - advertise the prefixes within 6 months Is there a process in place which actually checks this? If so, will APNIC actually pull back /24 allocations which aren't advertised within 6 months? If not - why even include it?

[sig-policy] New version of prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria
Dear SIG members A new version of the proposal “prop-113: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria has been sent to the Policy SIG for review. Information about earlier versions is available from: http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-113 You are encouraged to express your views on the proposal: - Do you support or oppose the proposal? - Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear? - What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective? Please find the text of the proposal below. Kind Regards, Masato -- prop-113-v002: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria - Proposer: Aftab Siddiqui aftab.siddi...@gmail.com Skeeve Stevens ske...@eintellegonetworks.com 1. Problem statement - The current APNIC IPv4 delegation policy defines multiple eligibility criteria and applicants must meet one criteria to be eligible to receive IPv4 resources. One of the criteria dictates that “an organization is eligible if it is currently multi-homed with provider-based addresses, or demonstrates a plan to multi-home within one month” (section 3.3). The policy seems to imply that multi-homing is mandatory even if there is no use case for the applicant to be multi-homed or even when there is only one upstream provider available, this has created much confusion in interpreting this policy. As a result organizations have either tempted to provide incorrect or fabricated multi-homing information to get the IPv4 resources or barred themselves from applying. 2. Objective of policy change -- In order to make the policy guidelines simpler we are proposing to modify the text of section 3.3. 3. Situation in other regions ARIN: There is no multi-homing requirement RIPE: There is no multi-homing requirement. LACNIC: Applicant can either have multi-homing requirement or interconnect. AFRINIC: There is no multi-homing requirement. 4. Proposed policy solution Section 3.3: Criteria for small delegations An organization is eligible if: - it is currently multi-homed OR, - currently utilising provider (ISP) assignment of at least a /24, AND - intends to be multi-homed OR, - intends to be multi-homed AND - advertise the prefixes within 6 months 5. Advantages / Disadvantages -- Advantages: Simplifies the process of applying for IPv4 address space for small delegations and delays the immediate requirement for multi-homing as determined to be appropriate within the timeframe as detailed in Section 3.3. Disadvantages: There is no known disadvantage of this proposal. 6. Impact on resource holders - No impact on existing resource holders. * sig-policy: APNIC SIG on resource management policy * ___ sig-policy mailing list sig-policy@lists.apnic.net http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/sig-policy

Simply advertising a network doesn’t mean you need the addresses or that you’re actually using them in an operational network. It just means you typed in a BGP anchor statement.

Owen, That is almost, but not quite ok. There may be cases where you have the same reason to do this for a second or third ASN.

In this text, the suggested guidelines have been removed to be replaced with: - you have been previous allocated provider independent address space by APNIC AND - intend to multi-home in the future This policy can be reviewed on an annual basis for any impact on the number of allocations of ASN and if there has been any detrimental effect. == --- prop-114-v003: Modification in the ASN eligibility criteria --- Proposer: Aftab Siddiqui aftab.siddi...@gmail.com Skeeve Stevens ske...@eintellegonetworks.com 1.

Disadvantages: It may be perceived that this policy would enable members to obtain ASN’s more easily, and in return cause faster consumption of ASN’s in the region.
