Background
Current Structure - “Self-determined”
Members choose category
Small, Medium, Large, Very Large
Determines annual fee and number of votes
Problems
“Drift” from larger categories to smaller
No relationship between “size” and “cost”
Unfair distribution of funding burden
Serious concerns about future implications

Design structure so that...
Minimum conceptual change from current system
Category system maintained
APNIC income is maintained

Question: How to deal with members holding IPv6
and IPv4 allocations?
ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK
INFORMATION CENTRE
New Fee Structure
Combined allocations - IPv4 and IPv6
Assess as one membership
Choose larger of IPv4 and IPv6 category
Option: where equal, choose larger+1
Assess as two separate memberships
Recognises likely changes in IPv6 policies/fees
Recommend
 Assess as two separate memberships
Other suggestions?

Based on allocations at 1 Feb 2000
8 allocations so far - all /35

Implementation
New members
Structure should be effective immediately
Current members
Propose to change from 1 July 2000
All membership renewals after this date would be
assessed according to total allocations
Question: Pro-rata charge for increase in category
during term of membership?
ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK

Summary
Benefits
Prevent “drift” to smaller categories
Members pay fees more fairly:
According to resources consumed
According to burden placed on APNIC secretariat

IPv6 Fees for Confederations
APNIC Annual Member Meeting
Seoul, 3 March 2000
ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK

IPv6 Fee for Confederations
Background
Proposal
Implementation
Questions
ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK
INFORMATION CENTRE
Background
IPv6 allocations to confederations
NIR
No ‘pool’ of addresses held by NIR
Changing policy environment
Very little global experience
Members of NIR
NIR acts as “Agent” in forwarding request
Liaise with APNIC on behalf of their member
Problem
Determination of an appropriate fee?
ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK
INFORMATION CENTRE
Proposal
IPv6 address architecture
 Every ‘site’ receives a /48
 Note each SLA is 65,536 /64 addresses
 Each /64 address can address a whole LAN and maybe dial up
users
Proposal - ‘per site’ fee under IPv6
Same as ‘per address’ fee under IPv4
e.g. USD 0.03 / site for Very Large members
Will apply where confederation is able to undertake
allocation process

ASIA PACIFIC NETWORK

Summary
Proposed IPv6 Fees for Confederations
Mirrors existing “per-address” fee structure
Ensures fair contribution to APNIC operating costs
Far lower per-customer cost for ISP networks
Recommendation
Review pricing structure after experience
 As variations in global policy occur
