APNIC Internet Resource Analyst, George Odagi, gave a presentation on the ‘Policies that changed the Internet’ on the history of policies at APNIC, why policies are important and how they affect you, how to get involved in the APNIC Policy Development Process (PDP) and current policy proposals at APNIC
3. The community had become complacent about
exhaustion.
It had been a case of the ‘boy who cried wolf’
where people had stopped paying attention to
stories about IPv4 exhaustion… they had not
given much thought to the eventual day when
there would be no more addresses left for
IANA to allocate.

4. First come, first served
• First come, first
served was the norm
• If that continued,
APNIC region would
probably eaten most
remaining space
• What about Africa?
• Was this fair?

7. A soft landing: /22 from the last /8
13,000+ delegations from 103/8 –
without this policy, addresses would
have exhausted long ago
Innovation has continued in APAC:
1000s of new ISPs, data centres
and start-ups since 2011
Emerging economies have benefitted
• BD: 68 members → 701 members
• PK: 51 Members → 175 Members
• KH: 25 Members → 95 Members
• MM: 2 Members → 73 Members
• PH 93 Members → 235 Members
8. A brief aside: How’d we get to /22?
• Minimum requirement
set at /21, had to show
use of /23
• Hard for start-up ISPs
in emerging economies
to do – stifling growth
• Policy changed the
requirements and min
allocation to /22
• Great example of
community adjusting
policy to its needs

10. The policy was deeply divisive because it
recognized that addresses were being
transferred between parties for financial gain.
But the movement of addresses wasn’t going
to stop. If we didn’t have this policy, the
accuracy of the registry – which the community
relies on – could be severely impacted.

12. What’s the common thread?
All these policies were created
by people just like you!
15. Proposals Implementation
• prop-125: Validation of “abuse-mailbox” and other IRT emails
– Reached consensus at APNIC 46
– More details to follow…
• prop-127: Change maximum delegation size of 103/8 IPv4 address pool to a /23
– Reached consensus at APNIC 47
– Implemented immediately
• prop-128: Multihoming not required for ASN
– Reached consensus at APNIC 47
– Implemented in July
• prop-129: Abolish Waiting list for unmet IPv4 requests
– Reached consensus at APNIC 47
– Implemented in July

34. 実装済みのポリシー提案①
• prop-125: Validation of “abuse-mailbox” and other IRT emails
(IRTオブジェクト中の電⼦メールアドレスの検証)
– APNIC46(2018/09開催)でコンセンサス
– 2019年6⽉より実装
• prop-127: Change maximum delegation size of 103/8 IPv4
address pool to a /23
(103/8からの最⼤割り振りサイズを/23へ変更)
– APNIC47(2019/02開催)でコンセンサス
– コンセンサス後に即時実装
35. 実装済みのポリシー提案②
• prop-128: Multihoming not required for ASN
(AS番号割り当てにおけるマルチホーム要件撤廃)
– APNIC47(2019/02開催)でコンセンサス

• prop-129: Abolish Waiting list for unmet IPv4 requests
(IPv4アドレス返却プールからの割り振り待機者
リストの廃⽌)
– APNIC47(2019/02開催)でコンセンサス
