Hello Owen

That makes me think of another option I haven’t listed.

We could take the structure outlined in option 4 and put them all in one 
document. That way we would have all the definitions, goals, and principles 
information at the beginning of the document and then have three sections IPv4, 
IPv6, and ASNs.

One of the concerns with option 2 was the way Section 6 swaps back and forth 
between the three resource types.

So I present Option 5 structure below. It would achieve the goal of one policy 
document with all its advantages, but keep the various resource policy criteria 
quite distinct.


-------------------------------
OPTION 5: One Policy Document
-------------------------------

Section 1: Policy Environment
-----------------------------
1.1. Introduction
     Scope of Policy
     Distribution Hierarchy
1.2. Definitions
     All definitions
1.3. Policy framework
     Goals & Principles
1.4. Resource License
     Validity, renewal, recovery
1.5. Resource Management
     APNIC pool management
     Historical resources
     LIR responsibilities
1.6. General requirements for requests
1.7. Resource Transfers
     Intra-Regional transfers IPv4 & ASNs
     Inter-RIR transfers IPv4 & ASNs
     Historical resources
     Mergers, acquisitions
1.8. Experimental allocations


Section 2: IPv4 Policy
----------------------
2.1. IPv4 Resource requests
     Criteria for initial IPv4 delegations
     Criteria for subsequent IPv4 delegations
2.2. Resource Transfers
     Intra-Regional IPv4 transfers
     Inter-RIR IPv4 transfers
     Historical resources
     Mergers, acquisitions


Section 3: IPv6 Policy
----------------------
3.1. IPv6 Resource requests
     Criteria for initial IPv6 delegations
     Criteria for subsequent IPv6 allocations
     Criteria for initial IPv6 assignments
     Criteria for subsequent IPv6 assignments
3.2. Resource Transfers
     Mergers, acquisitions
3.3. Appendix A : HD-Ratio


Section 4: ASN Policy
---------------------
4.1. ASN Resource requests
     Criteria for ASN delegations
4.2. Resource Transfers
     Intra-Regional ASN transfers
     Inter-RIR ASN transfers
     Mergers, acquisitions

I support option 2.

It is hard enough trying to follow the regional policy differences as an 
international network.
At least being able to find each regions policies in a single document would be 
a monumental
improvement.

Dear Colleagues

Many of you may recall that the APNIC Secretariat has been working
toward a restructure of the policy documents that govern the management
of resources in the region.

Last March, I circulated a draft document that merged all seven policy
documents into one policy manual. The email containing the links to
those drafts is available here:

http://mailman.apnic.net/mailing-lists/sig-policy/archive/2013/03/msg00002.html

Since then I have had some feedback that some may find a different
approach easier. Accordingly, I have identified below, a series of four
options. These range from no change - maintain the seven separate
documents, to keeping three or four documents.

To give a sense of what this might look like, I've pasted a likely Table
of Contents for each policy according to the structure of each option.

I can discuss this in more detail at APNIC 37, but the idea is to either
put all policies together in one policy manual, or to maintain separate
IPv4, IPv6, and AS number documents.

I look forward to feedback and opinions from community members, either
on this list, or at the meeting.

Kind Regards,

Adam
