A policy proposal is a formal, written submission that outlines an idea for a new policy. If a policy proposal is successful it will become a policy. 11
- 12. Why do we need resource policy? IP address and AS numbers are public shared resources. APNIC policies ensure that these resources are managed properly and distributed with the goal of fairness and consistency in mind. The common aim of a policy is to ensure proper usage of Internet number resources according to the technical and operational needs of the network. This is vital for the continued stable growth of the Internet. 12
- 13. Policy change Policies change constantly They evolve as the needs of the technical community change Good policy relies on a range of opinions APNIC policies are developed by Members and the Internet community in a bottom-up process of consultation and consensus. 13

- #7: APNIC in the Internet ecosystem
- #21: - Simplify contact update process - Enable contact details to be updated at a single point within MyAPNIC - Remove complexity for corporate and tech contacts of having to navigate where to go to keep all contact records up-to-date - Progress of contact checks to be tracked - Removal of inaccurate contact data - Reduce unnecessary complaints (a bout invalid contact details registered within the APNIC whois (currently received in helpdesk queue)
- #22: - On average some members very rarely go into MyAPNIC (since they have their own internal systems),or contacts who understand the process leave, and there is no automated reminder to keep contact records up-to-date - Confusion for members on where to go in order to update the different contact types - Difficulty to navigate update processes within MyAPNIC can lead to contacts not being updated
- #23: 1. Corporate contact will have full access on updating step 1 and 2. 2. Technical contact will be able to update its own account details immediately and request changes on others to be approved by Corporate Contact
- #26: Technical contact will not have permission to update Organisation details, but will be able to view the changes and still be able to proceed to the next step.
- #27: - On average some members very rarely go into MyAPNIC (since they have their own internal systems),or contacts who understand the process leave, and there is no automated reminder to keep contact records up-to-date - Confusion for members on where to go in order to update the different contact types - Difficulty to navigate update processes within MyAPNIC can lead to contacts not being updated

- #29: Future outlook for this project eg. Step 4 whois We welcome your feedback! [email protected] prop-125: - Validation of "abuse-mailbox" and other IRT emails Reached consensus at APNIC 46 Policy SIG and AMM Simple, periodic verification of IRT object emails Confirm that the response if from person nto automated Validation period no longer than fifteen (15) days. If there is no response from some of the email address associated with the IRT object, then mark those attributes invalid and contact the member for the resolution. If the problem is not fixed after fifteen (15) days then block access to myapnic and use other means to contact the member (e.g. via billing contact or corporate contact).
