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 -- Adam Gosling Senior Policy Specialist email: a...@apnic.net APNIC sip: a...@voip.apnic.net http://www.apnic.net phone: +61 7 3858 3100 ________________________________________________________________________ * Sent by email to save paper.

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.

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.
