[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear colleagues,

On 1 February 2011, the IANA allocated two /8s of IPv4 address space
to APNIC, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the Asia Pacific
region.

This means that only five /8s of IPv4 address space are left in the
IANA free pool and the "Global Policy for the Allocation of the
Remaining IPv4 Address Space" will be triggered.

This policy can be found online at:
http://www.icann.org/en/general/allocation-remaining-ipv4-space.htm

When this policy comes into effect, the five RIRs will each receive
one of the five remaining /8s and the global IPv4 pool will be
exhausted.

We expect IANA to allocate these final /8s within the next few days.

For further information please see:

Regards,

Axel Pawlik
