[Skeeve Stevens]

Hi all,

A couple of policies that Aftab Siddiqui and I spent a lot of effort on
getting accepted are now live and implemented.

Prop-113 <https://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-113>: Modification in
the IPv4 eligibility criteria relaxes a requirement for end-user
organizations to provide the ASNs of two peers when requesting IPv4 address
space from APNIC. Under the new rules, users must attest that they intend
to multihome and advertise their prefix within six months of receiving the
Provider Independent address space.

Organizations requesting a delegation under these terms must still
demonstrate they are able to use 25% of the requested addresses immediately
and 50% within one year.

Prop-114 <https://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-114>: Modification in
the ASN eligibility criteria is a related change that removes the absolute
requirement for a network to have a “single, clearly defined routing policy
that is different from its providers’ routing policy” when applying for an
ASN.

Under the new rules for ASN assignment, an organization is now also
eligible if it already holds provider independent address space and intends
to multihome in the future. Requests for ASNs under these criteria will
continue to be evaluated using the guidelines described in RFC1930
‘Guidelines for the creation, selection and registration of an Autonomous
System’.

The effect of this change will be to allow new APNIC Members to apply for
IPv4 addresses and an ASN in the same application. A successful IPv4
application will allow the new Member to meet the criteria for the AS
number application if the intention is to multihome the network in the
future.
