The only addition to this text was the clarification of demonstrated need.
It is not being removed and will remain in place as below.
"Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate
that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and
50% within one year."

prop-113-v003: Modification in the IPv4 eligibility criteria
------------------------------------------------------------

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
Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must demonstrate
that they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately and
50% within one year.
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.
