[rpd] Last Call | Decisions on policy proposals discussed during the meeting

Tue Jun 25 10:26:43 UTC 2019

Hi Moses,

Thanks a lot for your quick reaction on this and for the good summary to the community.

One clarification that is needed from your side, if you don’t mind.

For the two policy proposals that reached consensus and had started the last-call period today, is it a default/minimum two-weeks ?

My opinion is tha two-weeks is sufficient considering that in both proposals, neither in the list or in the meeting, there was any opossition (if I recall correctly), but it is neccesary to clearly state it in the “last-call” announcement from a procedural point of view.

Regards,

Jordi

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

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 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

•  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)

Decision:  Back to list for further discussion and refinement

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

•       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

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

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

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
