Dear SIG members
The proposal "IPv6 assignment size to critical infrastructure" was sent to
the Policy SIG Chair and Co-chairs yesterday. We are now forwarding it to
the Policy SIG for review. It will be presented at the Policy SIG at APNIC
22 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, 4-8 September 2006. You are invited to review and
comment on the proposal on the mailing list before the meeting.
The proposal's history can be found at:

prop-041-v001: IPv6 assignment size to critical infrastructure
________________________________________________________________________
Author:    APNIC Secretariat
            <secretariat at apnic dot net>
Version:   1
Date:      7 August 2006
Introduction
------------
This policy proposes a clarification of the APNIC policy for IPv6 portable
assignments to critical infrastructure networks operating in the Asia
Pacific region.
Summary of the current problem
------------------------------
The current policy for critical infrastructure assignments in section
5.8.2 of APNIC document, "IPv6 Address Allocation and Assignment Policy"
(https://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/ipv6-address-policy.html#5.8.2)
states:
     "The minimum assignment made under these terms is /32."
Since this policy became active, requests have been received for multiple
/32 assignments in cases where infrastructure operators have multiple POPs
or servers providing secondary services.  While the policy is ambiguous in
this regard, the APNIC secretariat deemed that additional /32 assignments
are not warranted in such cases, due to the large amount of address space
involved and the potentially large number of such requests.
Situation in other RIRs
-----------------------
AfriNIC:     no specific policy
ARIN:        /48 minimum assignment per POP
LACNIC:      /48 minimum, /32 maximum micro allocation to critical
              Internet infrastructure operators only
RIPE NCC:    minimum allocation size at time of request
Proposal
--------
It is proposed that section 5.8.2 of APNIC document "IPv6 Address Allocation
and Assignment Policy" remains except to modify the last sentence to read:
     "The maximum assignment made under these terms is /32 per operator."
