> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> It has been proposed that the management of the 6bone 
> 3FFE::/16 address
> space be transferred to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).  More
> information about the 6bone can be obtained at http://www.6bone.net/.
> 
> At a recent 6bone meeting, Bob Fink made a proposal for this

> transfer. A copy of the presentation slides are available at

>    http://www.apnic.net/meetings/14/sigs/policy/index.html
> 
> These presentation slides were based on the text, "Policies 
> for transfer of
> 6bone address management responsibilities to RIRs," provided below.
> 
> Please send your comments about this proposal to the APNIC 
> Address Policy
> SIG mailing list (sig-policy@apnic.net). The 6bone and other 
> RIRs will be
> conducting similar reviews within their communities and APNIC will
> summarise the collective responses, issues, and concerns,

> Policies for transfer of 6bone address management 
> responsibilities to RIR
> 
> Version: 20 August 2002
> 
> 1. Introduction
> 
> 6bone was established in 1996 as a continuing IPv6 test bed with the
> original purpose of testing of standards and implementations, 
> and the more
> current focus on testing of transition and operational 
> procedures, as well
> as application conversion.  It provides an opportunity for 
> those wanting
> early experience and/or needing to experiment with IPv6, with 
> a minimum of
> startup complexity, particularly in terms of address 
> management policies,
> and at minimal cost.  It also provides an open peer process for
> information, hookup help, and support, with strong ties to 
> the IETF process
> as well as to the operational community.
> 
> To date, 6bone address space has been allocated and registered in an
> informal process quite separate from the existing Regional Internet
> Registry system. The purpose of this proposal is to establish 
> a long term
> model that provides for a more "official" home for 6bone address space
> management within the established Internet administrative 
> structures. At
> the same time, the proposal recognizes that 6bone's most important
> functions as an accessible and informal test bed network must 
> be maintained.
> 
> This document proposes the transfer of responsibility for 
> administration of
> 6bone address space (3ffe::/16) to the Regional Internet 
> Address Registries
> (RIRs). It describes a set of policies and procedures for 
> this transfer,
> and for the ongoing administration of 6bone address space 
> within the RIR
> framework.
> 
> It should be noted that the ongoing operation of the 6bone, 
> and policies
> related to it, are still the purview of the 6bone community 
> itself. For
> example, 6bone network compliance with the 6bone routing 
> guidelines is a
> matter for the community itself to resolve, typically by mail lists.
> 
> It is also important to continue the strongly volunteer efforts of the
> 6bone, both to make it as easy and friendly as possible for 
> individuals,
> sites and networks to experiment and learn about IPv6, but 
> also to keep the
> process streamlined and cost-effective.
> 
> 2. Definitions
> 
> a) "6bone" and "6bone community", as it appears in section 3 
> below, means
> 6bone organizations and individuals including the RIRs, 
> "6bone members"
> (see below), and those participating in the 6bone mail list.
> 
> b) 6bone members are defined as entities which are approved 
> for address
> space allocation by the 6bone community in accordance with 
> 6bone policies,
> and who agree to be bound by those policies and the policies 
> stated below.
> 
> c) 6bone allocations are allocations of 6bone address space 
> which are held
> by 6bone members, or made to 6bone members in accordance with these
> policies.
> 
> d) 6bone address space is defined as IPv6 address space within the
> 3ffe::/16 address block.
> 
> 3. Policies
> 
> 3.1 General
> 
> a) In consultation with 6bone, RIRs will implement a common 
> set of policies
> applying specifically to 6bone allocations. This will follow 
> the current
> RFC2772, "6Bone Backbone Routing Guidelines" and/or successor 
> documents
> resulting as an evolution of conversations in the 6bone 
> community and the
> RIRs.;
> 
> b) 6bone members will be served by respective RIR in their region, for
> "6bone Address Services" including 6bone address allocation, database
> registration and  maintenance, and ip6.arpa registration (as described
> below);
> 
> c) In order to receive 6bone address services from an RIR as described
> here, each 6bone member must "join" that RIR, that is, enter into the
> appropriate membership or services agreement with the RIR.
> 
> d) RIR fees will be waived for 6bone address services 
> provided by RIRs to
> 6bone members (but not for other services 6bone members may 
> require), until
> 1 year after this agreement starts.  After this time each RIR 
> may charge an
> administration fee to cover each allocation made.  This fee 
> simply covers
> registration and maintenance, rather than the full allocation 
> process for
> standard RIR members. This administration fee should be as 
> low as possible
> as these requests do not have to undergo the same evaluation 
> process as
> those requested in the normal policy environment.
> 
> e) Organizations may receive 6bone address services from the 
> RIR only on
> approval by 6bone, and in accordance with these policies;
> 
> f) 6bone members will have the option to receive other 
> services from an RIR
> (including allocation of production IPv6 address space), by 
> following the
> policy, process and procedures in place at the time of application for
> those services.
> 
> g) Continuing compliance with 6bone policies, and with the 
> policies defined
> here, will be verified by 6bone at least every 2 years;
> 
> 3.2 6bone Address Services
> 
> a) 6bone Address Services include allocation of 6bone address space,
> registration and maintenance of database records relating to 
> that address
> space, and registration of ip6.arpa records;
> 
> b) 6bone address space allocations will be made from 
> 3ffe::/16 and only /32
> prefixes will be allocated. There will be exceptions for 
> unusual and new
> proposals per joint RIR and 6bone review and approval. A 
> relevant example
> of this is one or more new strategies such as geographic or metro
> addressing;
> 
> c) No additional 6-bone address space will be allocated to 
> any 6bone member
> (therefore no provision will be made for aggregation of multiple
> allocations, reservations etc);
> 
> d) 6bone address services will be provided strictly for experimental,
> non-commercial use;
> 
> e) Allocations will be made on the clear and stated 
> understanding that the
> prefix 3ffe::/16 has a limited lifetime. The dates for the 
> termination of
> allocation from the prefix and the expiration of the prefix will be
> determined at a future date.  The RIRs will not participate in these
> determinations.
> 
> f) 6bone address space will be returned to the RIR when no 
> longer in use,
> when reclaimed due to non-compliance with 6bone or RIR 
> policies, or when
> 3ffe: space is finally withdrawn;
> 
> g) Registration of 6bone address space within the ip6.int zone is not
> covered by this policy, and is at option of 6bone member;
> 
> h) Registration of 6bone sites, maintainers, persons and address space
> within the existing consolidated 6bone registry is not covered by this
> policy, and is at option of 6bone and its current policies.
> 
> 3.3 Transfer of existing 6bone members
> 
> a) Responsibility for existing 6bone members in respect of services
> described here will be transferred from 6bone to the 
> respective RIR, at the
> option of those members individually, on entering into the appropriate
> agreement with the RIR;
> 
> b) On joining the RIR, 6bone address registration records for 
> the member
> concerned will be transferred from 6bone registry to the 
> respective RIR
> database;
> 
> c) On joining the RIR, 6bone members may establish ip6.arpa delegation
> records in accordance with applicable RIR procedures;
> 
> d) Legacy holders will use RIR administrative procedures for 
> management of
> their records;
> 
> e) There will be a sunset (2 years?) on existing 6bone members not
> transferring to RIR administrative procedures, after which 
> their address
> allocation will be revoked.
