Be Heard! APNIC Community Consultation Next Week
_______________________________________________________________________
Hi AUSNOG Community,
Internet address management may be on the brink of change. The ITU
(International Telecommunications Union) is studying the creation of an
alternative International Internet Registry model to operate in parallel
to the existing RIR model.
In collaboration with the NRO, APNIC is hosting a special session at
APNIC 29 / APRICOT 2010 to give the global Internet community an
opportunity to discuss the issues and ramifications of the alternative
model proposed by the ITU.
APNIC invites all Members of the global Internet Community to
participate at: IPv6 Address Management and ITU - Is an "additional
parallel structure" required?
Where: APNIC 29, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
When: 14:00 - 15:30 (UTC +8), Wednesday, 3 March 2010
APNIC is an ITU-D sector Member and will attend the ITU IPv6 Working
Group meeting in March that has been commissioned to study this issue in
depth. APNIC will be reporting feedback from our Consultation to ensure
community feedback is heard.
Topics of discussion
--------------------
1. Where is the demand for this alternative system coming from? Would
competition between IP address management systems bring any
benefits to current and future Internet stakeholders?
2. Is it realistic to expect the policies of an alternative model
as proposed by the ITU, to be consistent with RIR policies? Would
the possibility of nationalized addressing systems lead to divergent
policy systems? What would be the risks to the Internet of divergent
policy environments?
3. If the ITU were to become an Internet registry, how would the ITU
model affect the existing RIR model of open, bottom-up, and
consensus-driven policy-making?
