Global Policy Proposal for Remaining IPv4 Address Space – Background Report

29 November 2007

* Introduction *

The development of Global Internet Number Resource Policies is the 
subject of an MoU between ASO/NRO and ICANN 
<http://aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou2004.html>. There are also specific 
ICANN Board Procedures 
<http://www.icann.org/general/review-procedures-pgp.html> for handling 
global policy proposals in this context.

The Board procedures also state that the Board can request ICANN staff 
to undertake an "early awareness" tracking of proposals for global 
policies under development in the addressing community. At its meeting 
on 20 November 2007, the Board resolved to request such tracking of the 
development of a global policy proposal for allocation of remaining IPv4 
address space, currently being discussed in the Regional Internet 
Registries, or RIRs. The status overview presented below is compiled in 
response to this request and will be timely updated as developments 
proceed, for information to ICANN entities and the wider community.

* Status Overview *

The table below indicates the current status within each RIR for the 
foreseen Global Policy for remaining IPv4 address space. Hyperlinks are 
included for easy access.

There are two concurrent versions of the Global Policy Proposal for 
Allocation of the Remaining IPv4 Address Space in the Regional Internet 
Registry System:

    * A version (1) "Global Policy for the Allocation of the Remaining
      IPv4 Address Space", first presented at LACNIC X in May 2007
    * A version (2) "End Policy for IANA IPv4 allocations to RIRs",
      first presented at APNIC 24 in September 2007

Both versions feature the same approach and propose to distribute an 
equal number N of /8 IPv4 address blocks to each RIR when the IANA pool 
is approaching exhaustion, but differ in the proposed value of N, 
notably 2 or 1, respectively (although originally with N proposed as 5 
in the first version). Due to their similarity, both versions are being 
discussed in parallel in the RIRs and are regarded essentially as one 
proposal, with a view to converging on a value for N.

The proposal will subsequently be handled by the NRO EC and the ASO AC 
according to their procedures before being submitted to the ICANN Board.

It should be noted that other proposals have been put forward and are 
being discussed regarding IPv4 address space exhaustion, although only 
the two mentioned above have been scoped as global policy proposals in 
the sense of the ASO MoU, i.e. focusing on address allocation from IANA 
to the RIRs.

*Global Policy Proposal for Autonomous System Numbers – Background Report*

* 29 November 2007*

* Introduction *

The development of Global Internet Number Resource Policies is the 
subject of an MoU between ASO/NRO and ICANN 
<http://aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou2004.html>. There are also specific 
ICANN Board Procedures 
<http://www.icann.org/general/review-procedures-pgp.html> for handling 
global policy proposals in this context.

The Board procedures also state that the Board can request ICANN staff 
to undertake an "early awareness" tracking of proposals for global 
policies under development in the addressing community. At its meeting 
on 20 November 2007, the Board resolved to request such tracking of the 
development of a global policy proposal for allocation of Autonomous 
System Numbers, or ASNs, that is already well advanced towards adoption 
in the Regional Internet Registries, or RIRs. The status overview 
presented below is compiled in response to this request and will be 
timely updated as developments proceed, for information to ICANN 
entities and the wider community.

* Status Overview *

The table below indicates the current status within each RIR for the 
proposed Global Policy for ASNs. Hyperlinks are included for easy access.

The proposal was originally presented at the RIPE-54 meeting in March 
2007, inter alia to formalize the transition from 2-byte (16 bits) to 
4-byte (32 bits) ASNs. The proposal has since been introduced in all 
RIRs, following their respective policy development processes.

Once adopted by all RIRs, the proposal will subsequently be handled by 
the NRO EC and the ASO AC according to their procedures before being 
submitted to the ICANN Board for ratification.
