Hallo All<br><br>IANA is seeking your guidance on the interpretation of the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA, which was ratified in <span><span>May 2012</span></span>. <span><span><a href="http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion" target="_blank">http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion</a></span></span><br>
<br>The
global policy states that "Allocations from the IANA may begin
once the pool is declared active." It is not clear whether this means
that allocation from the Recovered IPv4 Pool should be made straight
away or whether they should happen at the start of the next "IPv4 allocation period," the "6-month period following 1 March or 1 September."<br><br>IANA hopes we can advise them on the intended meaning of this sentence, so that they can implement the policy appropriately.<br>
<br>There are two options to decide on here:<br><br>1.
Resolved (date) In implementing The Global Policy for Post Exhaustion
IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA, ICANN staff should begin<br>allocations from the Recovered IPv4 pool immediately after the pool is declared active.<br> <br>-or-<br> <br>2.
Resolved (date) In implementing The Global Policy for Post Exhaustion
IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA, ICANN staff should begin<br>allocations from the Recovered IPv4 pool at the start of the first allocation period after the pool is declared active.<br><br>Our
conclusion will be weighed against the feedback from the other RIR
regions and contribute towards enabling IANA correctly implement the
policy. ASO members from all the regions have been requested to get
feedback from their regions.<br><br>kind regards<br><br><br><div><span name="x"></span>
