Hi Bertrand, - Do you support or oppose this proposal? *Support the proposal.* - Does this proposal solve a problem you are experiencing? If so, tell the community about your situation. *The proposal will solve and overcome hindrances for the Associate members (small enterprises, academia) who are willing to deploy IPv6 blocks. Also the proposal will facilitate the expansion and propagation of IPv6 address spaces. * - Do you see any disadvantages in this proposal? *no disadvantage * - Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear? *No* - What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective? * Consideration of the reclamation period enhance to 18 months. As many small enterprises, academia may face challenges in deploying IPv6 initially.* Regards.

As a recipient of the ISIF.ASIA grant for IPv6 deployment, I strongly advocate for this proposal. During my year-long experience running the project, I observed that many small not-for-profit organizations and academic institutions in Indonesia are interested in IPv6 implementation for their small network and experimental purposes. However, they have limited knowledge of how IPv6 works in a live environment, including its impact on the global routing table and how to work with dual stacks.

- Secretariat Impact Assessment: prop-155-v001 -- APNIC notes that this proposal aims to allow any Associate member to receive a /48 IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) assignment without any justification or have any existing IPv4 addresses. Also, the proposal recommends the APNIC EC update the APNIC Membership: Tiers and Voting Rights Section 2.2 without making any changes to the Associate member fee schedule. Questions/Comments: -- - This proposal suggests that IPv6 PI address space will be non-transferable. However, as per the current IPv6 transfer policy, APNIC will recognize and process the transfer of IPv6 addresses as the result of a Merger & Acquisition. If the authors' intent is to stop the transfer of IPv6 PI assignments, a proposal to amend the current policy Section 13.0 IPv6 Transfers would be required. Implementation: -- This proposal's implementation is dependent on the APNIC EC review of APNIC Membership: Tiers and Voting Rights.

Problem statement The first tier of membership in APNIC is called "Associate." According to APNIC-121 (APNIC Membership: Tiers and Voting rights) Section 2.1 and 2.2, Associate members do not receive any IPv4 or IPv6 address space. However, APNIC Members with a delegated IPv4 address block but no IPv6 space are instantly eligible for an appropriately sized IPv6 block without restrictions. If an entity requests only IPv6 assignment and has no IPv4 delegation, then as per APNIC-127 section 9.1.4 "Provider Independent IPv6 assignments” they must submit a detailed usage plan for at least 12 months following the allocation, with a minimum assignment size of /48. This incurs annual fees of AUD 1,180 based on the HD ratio. This policy is seen as a barrier to deploying IPv6, especially for personal use, as it doesn't incentivize IPv6 assignment alone. The proposal aims to address this issue by providing a Provider Independent assignment to Associate members with minimum justifiable eligibility. This change will remove the barrier and facilitate IPv6 deployment. 2. Objective of policy change - Provide an incentive to small enterprises and academia/researchers to receive IPv6 assignment. 3. Situation in other regions - RIPE NCC: IPv6 PI can be sponsored by an LIR (EUR 50/yr) ARIN: As an end-user IPv6 only can be requested following certain criteria AFRINIC: Must not be an LIR LACNIC: Not been an LIR or ISP, submit addressing plans for at least a year https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/RIR-Comparative-Policy-Overview-2023-Q2.pdf Section 3.4.3 - END USERS 4. Proposed policy solution --- Summary of Proposed Changes: Allow associate members to apply for IPv6 PI resources with minimum justification criteria as currently specified in Section 9.1.4 of APNIC-114, provided that the member will use the resources in the next 12 months period. Update APNIC-114 "APNIC guidelines for IPv6 allocation and assignment requests" Section 9 as follows: Current: Organizations with a previously delegated IPv4 assignment from APNIC are eligible for an appropriately sized IPv6 block under Section 9.2.1 of the “APNIC Internet Number Resource Policies“.

In my opinion, any special restrictions on transfers should be removed from the proposal. Transfer or not of IPv6 space is an independent policy matter and there is no need for any special provisions in this proposal.

Dear Colleagues, I am Satoru Tsurumaki from Japan Open Policy Forum Steering Team. I would like to share key feedback in our community for prop-155, based on a meeting we organised on 30th Aug to discuss these proposals. Almostly support opinions were expressed about this proposal.
