<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>This policy describes the process for the
allocation of the remaining<br>
IPv4 space from IANA to RIRs. When a minimum amount of<br>
available space is reached, an identical number of IPv4 allocation units (/8s)<br>
will be allocated from IANA to each RIR, replacing the current IPv4<br>
allocation policy.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>In order to fulfill the requirements of this
policy, at the time of its<br>
adoption, an identical number of IPv4 allocation units (N) will be<br>
reserved by IANA for each RIR. The number N is<br>
defined as 5. The reserved units will no longer be part of the available<br>
space at IANA pool. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>The process for the allocation of the
remaining IPv4 space is divided in two consecutives phases:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>1. Existing Policy Phase:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>During this phase IANA will continue
allocating IPv4 addresses to the RIRs using the existing allocation policy.
This phase will continue until a request for IPv4 address space from any RIR to
IANA can not be fulfilled with the remaining IPv4 space available in the IANA
pool.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>This will be the last IPv4 address space
request that IANA will accept from any RIR. At this point the next phase of the
process will be initiated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>2. Exhaustion Phase:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>IANA will automatically allocate the
reserved IPv4 allocation units to each RIR (N units to each one) and respond to
the last request with the remaining available allocation units in IANA pool (M
units).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;

<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>During this phase IANA will automatically
allocate N allocation units to each RIR from the reserved space defined in this
policy. IANA will also allocate M allocation units to the RIR that submitted
the last request for IPv4 addresses.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;

font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>A) Immediately notify the NRO about the
activation of the second phase of this policy.<br>
<br>
B) Proceed to allocate M allocation units to the RIR that submitted the last
request for IPv4 address space.<br>
<br>
C) Proceed to allocate N allocation units to each RIR from the reserved space.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>The IANA pool of allocation units of IPv4
addresses (/8s) is decreasing rapidly. A new policy is proposed to replace the
current "on demand" policy in order to bring certainty on how the
remaining space will be allocated. This policy eliminates the pressure on the
remaining central pool of addresses by allocating equal amount of allocation
units (N) to each RIR.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>RIR may be studying slow-landing policies or
the possibility to reserve specific address spaces for "critical
infrastructure" or new companies in order to comply with anti-trust
regulations in its region. This policy allows each RIR to adopt those policies
through its PDP, which is simpler than a global policy discussion process. Each
RIR will have the exact information on the amount of address spaces that they
will be receiving as a last allocation from the IANA.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color="#333333" face=Verdana><span style='font-size:7.5pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:#333333'>The policy is written in such a way that the
discussion could be split in two sections: first do we agree on the concept of
the policy and second what is the appropriate value for the last allocation
units N.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
