Dear PDWG members,

Consequent to the discussions by the PDWG community present at AFRINIC-30
during the Public Policy Meeting held on 19th June 2019 in Kampala Uganda,
the following two policy proposals below have been moved to “*Last* *Call*”,
starting today 25th June 2019.

*A) IPv6 PI Update (AFPUB-2018-V6-004) currently CPM 6.8.2(v)*

*B) AFPUB-2018-v4-001-DRAFT-01 (SL Update)*



*Decisions on policy proposals discussed during the meeting*


*AFRINIC Policy Development Process – bis*

*Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement*

*https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2017-gen-002-d5#proposal*
<https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2017-gen-002-d5>

This proposal is a major revision of the current Policy Development
Process. Major highlights include:

•       A clearer mechanism for appeals and disputes.

•       Introduction of distinct phases in the policy proposal life cycle.

•       More transparency around consensus-gauging.





*Abuse*
<https://afrinic.net/en/community/policy-development/policy-proposals/2313-ipv6-policy-and-references-update>*
Contact Policy Update*

*Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement*

https://afrinic.net/policy/2018-gen-001-d2

Updates CPM 8.0 (Abuse Contact Information) with the following key
amendments:

•       Introduction of a mandatory “abuse-c” attribute into inetnum,
inet6num and aut-num whois database objects for resources directly issued
by AFRINIC. The value of this attribute is an “abuse-mailbox”, which must
be a valid e-mail address.

•       A mechanism is proposed to validate the “abuse-mailbox” and
report/escalate invalid or those that are unresponsive.





*Provisions for Resource Hijacking*

*Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement*

https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/provisions-for-resource-hijacking

The proposal provides a framework for recognizing that IP address hijacks
are a policy violation within the AFRINIC service region. A method to
identify and report hijacks is proposed and a pool of experts chosen from
the community is instituted  to investigate each reported case.





*IPv4 Inter-RIR Legacy Resource Transfers*

*Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement*

https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-v4-001-d1#proposal
<https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-v4-001-d1>

•  Establishes a mechanism to allow transfers of *legacy* IPv4 space
to/from other regions. The intent is to align AFRINIC with an IPv4 address
market that already exists for which AFRICA is not currently part.

•   The author fronted two Inter-RIR proposals with hope to withdraw one if
the other passes through.





*IPv4 Inter-RIR Resource Transfers (Comprehensive Scope)*
<https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-v4-002-d1>

*Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement*

*https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-v4-002-d1*
<https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-v4-002-d1>

•   Allows establishing a mechanism to allow transfers of IPv4 space
to/from other regions. The intent is to align AFRINIC with an IPv4 address
market that already exists for which AFRICA is not currently part.

•  The author fronted two Inter-RIR proposals with hope to withdraw one if
the other passes through.



*IPv6 PI Clarification*

*Decision:  Last Call*

*https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-v6-001-d2#proposal*
<https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-v6-001-d2>

•       Amends original policy proposal “IPv6 PI Update”
(AFPUB-2018-V6-004) currently CPM 6.8.2(v), which requires that IPv6 PI
space should be announced within 12 months of getting it, and should not be
disaggregated.

•       This proposal does not make it mandatory to announce the space,
since there is no RFC1918 equivalent for IPv4, and cases like IXP peering
LAN space doesn’t necessarily have to be announced. If announced however,
the condition to disaggregate it is still in place.



*SL Update*

*Decision:  Last Call*

*https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2018-v4-001*
<https://afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2018-v4-001>

Proposes an update to CPM 5.4.7.2 which removes the Board’s power to
replenish the (exhaustion) pool with any IPv4 space available at the time
(such as the /12 reserve in 5.4.7.1).  The proposal also stipulates that
the same /12, if still unused by the time phase 2 space is exhausted, be
automatically



 *Multihoming not required for ASN*

*Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement*

*https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-asn-001-d2*
<https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2019-asn-001-d2>

Modifies CPM 7.4 by removing 7.4.2, a clause requiring requestors of ASNs
to be multihomed (or demonstrate plan thereof). Instead, the proposal sets
the following criteria:

•   A unique routing policy or

•   Interconnection with one or more other ASNs which requires a globally
unique ASN.

•  An organization will also be eligible if it can demonstrate that it will
meet any of the above criteria upon receiving an ASN (or within the
following six months).





*Internet Number Resources Review by AFRINIC*

*Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement*

*https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2016-gen-001-d8*
<https://www.afrinic.net/policy/proposals/2016-gen-001-d8>

The proposal introduces a mechanism for AFRINIC to conduct reviews (or
audits) for IPv4 number resources issued to members, and recommends
reclamation of resources that are found to be in breach or not in
compliance.



*Clarification on temporary resource usage*

*This proposal was withdrawn by authors just before it was discussed*

Thanks & Regards,

*Moses Serugo*
