               with existing IPv4 addresses

     prop-074: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policy for
               Allocation of ASN Blocks (ASNs) to Regional Internet
               Registries

     prop-075: Ensuring efficient use of historical AS numbers


The following proposal was returned to mailing list for further
discussion:

     prop-076: Requiring aggregation for IPv6 subsequent allocations


The following proposals were returned to their authors for further
consideration:

     prop-077: Proposal to supplement transfer policy of historical IPv4
               addresses

     prop-078: Reserving /10 IPv4 address space to facilitate IPv6
               deployment


Next steps
----------

1. Proposals that reached consensus will be returned to the Policy SIG
    mailing list for an eight-week comment period.

2. If no substantial objections are received during the final comment
    period, the proposals are deemed to have reached consensus at each
    stage of the policy development process. At this point, the SIG
    Chairs forward the proposals to the APNIC Executive Council (EC) for
    endorsement.

3. If the APNIC EC endorses the proposals, the APNIC Secretariat begins
    work on implementation of the proposals. Implementation usually
    takes a minimum of three months, but may take more depending on the
    implementation complexity.
