6. Initial Allocation Criteria in IPv6 policy • 776 sites in current draft are too high! • Editorial team suggests • Only LIR can get a /32, but not end users. • LIR is an IR that primarily assigns address space to the users of the network services that it provides. • at least 200 assignments over the next two years • Be subject to be reclaimed if the requirements not satisfactory. APNIC Policy SIG

7. AS Policy • Clarifying the current practices as a policy rather than creating a new policy. • Registration of routing policy was mandatory in the original draft, but the wording will be changed to “should be” • Consensus reached with the above amendment APNIC Policy SIG

8. Broadband WG - Cable/ADSL guideline • Already two years passed since the first proposal • NO MORE DELAY • Three items remaining at Taipei meeting • Obligation of Customer list submission: Consensus is“should be optional” • Assignment Justification: keep the original proposal and continue to discuss in the ML(1:1 OK, larger needs justification) • Registration threshold: keep the original proposal (/29 and shorter need to be registered) • Proposals for changes from JP were rejected. RIR/NIR consideration for LIR’s address shortage during evaluation will be discussed more. • Draft guideline will be revised and published soon. APNIC Policy SIG

9. Observations and Suggestions by Chair • Fewer presentations than before… • More Asian Pacific voices expected… • Everything in one day was tough • Why not have two slots in the first day and one slot in the next? • Any volunteer for co-chair? • New WG proposal? APNIC Policy SIG
