<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone!<div><br></div><div>This is indeed awesome news for small players out there who need address space.</div><div><br></div><div>APNIC has been allocated a /11 from IANA (see the reasons below).</div>
<div><br></div><div>This means that all current account holders will be eligible to receive an additional /22 under this allocation, in addition to the /22 you were already able to receive under the final /8 policy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is a huge plus for small providers who need just a little bit on extra space. </div><div><br></div><div>Just a note. This new allocation should not be seen as a handout for those who will request it and try to immediately sell it. It will follow the same /8 allocation where you will be required to hold on to it (and pay your membership at the new level) for at least a year. Those not prepared to pay the new membership level, shouldn't request it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>These new ranges should be available for request sometime next week. Expect an announcement from APNIC.</div><div><br></div><div>Good times!</div><div><br></div><div>...Skeeve</div><div><br></div><div>

<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">APNIC will implement procedures for distribution of space from this new </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">allocation of addresses. APNIC Members will be eligible to receive up to </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">a /22 from this pool, in addition to the /22 that they can receive under </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">the last /8 rationing policy. This gives new or existing APNIC Members </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">up to 2,048 IPv4 addresses from these address blocks, while the space is </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">available.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">APNIC's Director General, Paul Wilson, said reaching this important </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">milestone had two major implications for organizations in the Asia </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Pacific.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">''Firstly, APNIC's receipt of the /11 from IANA will mean that </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">organizations in our region can get a few more addresses, which they </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">sorely need in many cases. Also, newcomers to the Internet will be able </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">to receive these small allocations for some years to come, which is </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">really critical for healthy Internet competition and growth into the </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">future,'' Wilson said.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">''The second, and more important message this milestone highlights, is </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">that the journey towards exhaustion of IPv4 address space globally is </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">continuing as expected, and the need for organizations to deploy IPv6 is </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">increasingly urgent,'' he said.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">''I again urge the Asia Pacific Internet community to turn its </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">investments toward the transition to IPv6. If you depend on the </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Internet, then you will depend on IPv6 as a critical part of your </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">business.
