[LACNIC/Politicas] New policy proposal LAC-2009-08

[Nicolas Antoniello]

Dear LACNIC Policy List subscribers,

According to the policy development process, moderators must analyze
proposals and decide whether the expedited procedure is justified. The
text of the proposal states:

"... according to this policy, until December 31, 2010, RIRs can
receive from IANA two separate ASN blocks, one for 16-bit only ASNs
and another for 32-bit only ASNs. After this date, IANA and the RIRs
will cease to make any distinction between 16-bit only AS Numbers and
32-bit only AS Numbers and will operate ASN allocations from an
undifferentiated 32-bit ASN allocation pool.”

Given the proposed time frame, the global nature of the proposal, and
the fact that it does not go against any of the proposals that are
currently being analyzed, we the moderators have jointly decided that
in this case the application of the expedited process is justified.

Therefore, the period for presenting comments begins as of this
moment. This period will have a duration of 60 days and will end on
September 29, 2009. We cordially invite you to submit your comments
regarding the proposal. Because this is an expedited process, we
believe that even a simple "I agree" message will be of great value.

After this period, the Public Policy Forum Moderators will evaluate
whether the discussion warrants calling for consensus on the proposal
or abandoning the expedited process.
