Filtering: APNIC Policy changes

[APNIC Secretariat <]

** Apologies for duplicate messages **

             Important Public Announcement
             CHANGES IN APNIC ADDRESS POLICY

If you ingress filter on any of the following APNIC address ranges - 61/8,
202/7, or 210/7 - then please note the following important changes to
APNIC address policy which were approved at the recent APNIC Member
Meeting in March, in Seoul, Korea.

 * APNIC will lower its initial minimum allocation from a /19 to a /20
   (this will apply across all address ranges held by APNIC).

 * APNIC will begin making allocations from network 61/8 as routine
   allocations from its total address pool.

These policy changes will take effect three months from this announcement, 
on 4 August 2000. This email is intended to allow the ISP community 
sufficient advance notice to make any necessary filtering changes.

For more detailed information on these proposals and decisions, or other 
discussion items, copies of presentations and discussion papers are 
available on the APNIC web site at http://www.apnic.net/amm2000/ .

With best wishes,

Anne Lord
Manager Member Services
