This proposal will now move to the next step in the APNIC Policy Development Process and is being returned to the Policy SIG mailing list for the final Comment Period. At the end of this period the Policy SIG Chairs will evaluate comments made and determine if the consensus reached at APNIC 40 still holds. The Chairs may extend the Comment Period to a maximum of eight (8) weeks to allow further discussion. If consensus holds, the Chair of the Policy SIG will ask the Executive Council to endorse the proposal for implementation. - Send all comments and questions to: <sig-policy at apnic dot net> - Deadline for comments: 23:59 (UTC +10) Sunday, 11 October 2015 Proposal details ---------------- This is a proposal changes the criteria for AS number requests from end-user organizations considering multihoming.

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://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ripe.net_ripe_policies_proposals_2014-2D03&d=BQMFaQ&c=96ZbZZcaMF4w0F4jpN6LZg&r=XDN_BIPGnpb6V0w5M9FADw&m=oI2K3KbF4xDxIoWhZMPgNTo-MzIsTfgAoSWUodhRZLI&s=q2A_79aXoxs-Nj5156K30843jn2U24wuo18xiJu-94o&e=> 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 organisation is eligible for an ASN assignment if: - they are currently multi-homed, OR - have previous allocated provider independent address space by APNIC, AND intend to multi-home in the future 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. * sig-policy: APNIC SIG on resource management policy * _______________________________________________ sig-policy mailing list sig-policy@lists.apnic.net<mailto:sig-policy@lists.apnic.net> http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/sig-policy
