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

All those who ingress filter on any of the following APNIC address ranges - 61/8, 202/7, or 210/7 - should 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 on 4 August 2000, three months from the date of the original announcement, 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 here.
