Dear all,
Here is the Secretariat impact assessment for proposal "prop-137-v001:
IPv6 assignment for associate members".
APNIC notes the proposed criteria for Associate Members to request IPv6
provider independent assignment
of /48 and this assignment cannot be further assigned to the other
organizations and agree to use and
announce this address space within 12 months.
APNIC also notes, if the assigned space is not announced within the 12
months, after this period, APNIC can
reclaim it and return to the free pool.
Under the current policies, any account holders can request IP
resources, including IPv6 provider independent
assignment.
This proposal has a direct impact on the Associate Member fees which is
not in the mandate of the Policy SIG
Charter. Under the APNIC By-laws, the power for establishing the
membership fees for APNIC Members rests
with the APNIC Executive Council (EC).
This proposal would require changes to the website content, procedure
documents and manuals, training
material, membership forms and registry systems.
This proposal would create additional workload for Services staff having
to follow-up with members and
reclaim resources if they do not advertise Provider Independent IPv6
assignment within 12 months.
If this proposal reaches consensus, implementation is subject to the
APNIC EC review/decision of
Associate Member fees.
Clarifications required:
1. How strict is this proposal with "not announced within the 12
months"? What if the assignment is briefly
announced within that 12 months but is not visible in the routing table
at the time of verification by the
APNIC staff after that period?
2. An end user type organization can receive a /48 IPv6 assignment under
different policy criteria.
IPv6 for multihoming
IPv6 for critical infrastructure
IPv6 for Internet Exchange Points
Provider Independent IPv6 assignment
https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/resources#10.1.-Criteria-for-IPv6-Assignments
Since the objective of this proposal is to provide an incentive to small
enterprises to receive IPv6 assignment,
what is the reason to restrict proposal to ‘Provider Independent IPv6
assignment’ only?
Regards,
Sunny

prop-137-v001: IPv6 assignment for associate members
-------------------------------------------------------
Proposer: Aftab Siddiqui (aftab.siddi...@gmail.com)
1. Problem statement
--------------------
The first tier of membership in APNIC is "Associate". As per APNIC-121
Section 2.1 and 2.2, the Associate members do not receive any address
space (IPv4 or IPv6). In order to be eligible for IPv6 assignment
APNIC Members that have been delegated an IPv4 address block from
APNIC, but have no IPv6 space, instantly qualify for an appropriately
sized IPv6 block without any restriction. If you have no IPv4
delegation and only requesting IPv6 assignment then as per APNIC-127
section 10.1.4 "Requests for Provider Independent assignments must
include a detailed plan of intended usage of the proposed address
block over at least the 12 months following the allocation". The
minimum size of the assignment is a /48 and requires annual fees of
AUD 1,180 as per HD ratio.
In the IPv4 exhaustion world, this policy limits anyone who wants to
only use IPv6 provider independent assignment for personal use as it
doesn't incentivise IPv6 assignment only. The same fees and
justification is applied to receive /24 IPv4 + /48 IPv6 address space.
This is perceived as a clear barrier to deploy IPv6. This policy
proposal addresses that barrier aims to solve this problem by means of
providing a Provider Independent assignment to Associate members.
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://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nro.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FRIR-Comparative-Policy-Overview-2021-Q2.pdf&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cf79827c3aaf046d63e0108d95decda3e%7C127d8d0d7ccf473dab096e44ad752ded%7C0%7C0%7C637644094962148801%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=ugKEu7j3fXn9n0efAbBWJpxhPb5DmLGg2JsLVUav2%2Bc%3D&reserved=0
Section 3.4.3 - END USERS
4. Proposed policy solution
---------------------------
Remove APNIC-114 "APNIC guidelines for IPv6 allocation and assignment
requests" requirement for initial IPv6 provider independent assignment
as per APNIC-127 Section 10.1.4.
Use the same "Go IPv6" criteria and enable "Get IPv6 Addresses Now"
options for Associate members with the restrictions that the Provider
Independent assignment cannot be further assigned to other organisations.
The Associate member MUST agree to use and announce the IPv6 provider
independent address space within twelve (12) months. After that
period, if not announced or APNIC host masters believe that it is not
in use then the assigned IPv6 address space should be reclaimed and
returned to the free pool.
Note: This is outside the scope of the policy proposal, therefore
requesting APNIC EC to consider that only Associate membership fees
should be applied to initial IPv6 provider independent assignment of
/48 only.
5. Advantages / Disadvantages
-----------------------------
Advantages:
This will give incentive to those small enterprises and academics
willing to use their own IPv6 addresses but not in a position to be a
very small tier member.
Disadvantages:
- This might slightly increase over head for host masters.
- The possible effect of this proposal is the growth of the global
routing table
6. Impact on resource holders
-----------------------------
No impact on existing resource holders.
7. References
-------------
None.
