APNIC Meeting - 7 February 2002

Sue Leader - Notes

SIG and WG Reports

see VN IDNS report under Reverse DNS SIG - note statement IETF close to standard ( just for VN) [i18n DNS].
see db SIG report re DNS SEC/BIND 9.2 - good performance reports now.
WHOIS - Verisign report apparently raises good issues and ccTLD differences noted - privacy and TM.
Routing SIG - proposal for Route Server for unregistered address space.
IX SIG - see site.
IPv6 Technical SIG - APNIC IPv6 allocations: APNIC 52, RIPE 52, ARIN 24/ - total 128/35. Also 3 IX's /64. Chungwa Telecom Co: providing IPv6 for broadband access users. Trial for 20K ADSL users.
Policy SIG - IPv6 Policy draft document; AS number policy; revised IPv4 Policy; RFC2050 revision; Broadband WG updates - Cable/ADSL policy.
IPv6 - the 776 sites in current draft too high; only LIR can get a /32, not end users; 200 addresses must be assigned over next 2 years or subject to reclamation.
NIR SIG - http://www.apnic.net/meetings/amm2000/nir/establishment.html - no-one for .nz.

Address Council Elections

issue is to ensure AP members of AC reflect diversity of AP region. Possibilities.
Noms Committee to nominate appropriately qualified AC candidates.
APNIC Individual Membership and APNIC member vote for AC members (i.e. new category and only for voting).
Other.
Discussion. Worry that new category would be like At Large, and Nom Com would be like ICANN reform; other NIC's allow anyone to attend, nominate, and vote. IETF requires attendance at last two of three meetings b4 being able to vote.
straw poll split between 2 and 3. [ARIN report gives how ARIN does it - online like us - note, if vote online and in person, online vote is counted].

ARIN

BoT (7) plus Advisory Council (15). see presentation re structure.
