prop-046: IPv4 countdown policy proposal
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This proposal was presented at the APNIC 24 Policy SIG but failed to
reach formal consensus. Instead, it was decided to return the
proposal to the mailing list for further development by the community.
Proposal details
----------------
The proposal contains four main principles:
1. IANA to distribute a single /8 to each RIR when the IANA free
   pool hits 5 /8s. This date is defined as 'IANA Exhaustion Date'.
2. Each RIR community can define its own regional policy on how to
   distribute the remaining RIR free pool to LIRs after the IANA
   Exhaustion Date.
3. RIRs should provide an official projection on the IANA Exhaustion
   Date to the community.
4. RIRs should maintain the current address distribution criteria until
   the IANA Exhaustion Date.
Discussion at APNIC 24
----------------------
Because this proposal is similar to "prop-051: Global policy for the
allocation of the remaining IPv4 address space", both proposals were
discussed at the same time.
Following the discussion, there was consensus on the following
principles:
- If there is to be a policy on the distribution of the last
  remaining IPv4 blocks to RIRs, then each RIR should be allocated
  one, not two, /8 blocks.
- Discussion is needed on the policy under which the last /8 would
  be allocated in the APNIC region.
Next steps
----------
We would like to hear your opinions on this proposal. Here are some
questions that may help start discussion:
- Is this proposal addressing a real need or problem?
- What advantages are there to distributing the last remaining
  /8 blocks equally to the RIRs?
- Are distribution policy changes needed for the final /8 delegated to
  APNIC by IANA? If yes, what changes do you think are needed?
