Motion seconded by SJ.

Votes were taken by roll call. Hearing no votes for the negative, the motion was approved unanimously.

List of suggested qualifications mandatory for the position:

intimate knowledge of IP addressing policies preferably in all regions, but at least in more than one region
participation in the global and regional IP policy fora for several years
technical knowledge of the IP addressing numbering system for IPv4 and IPv6
technical knowledge of the Internet routing system
inter-personal skills

11) Update from ARIN meeting

LH proceeded to present the following update from the ARIN meeting:

There were several policy proposals considered.

a) There were two for which there was consensus that we wanted worked on, one of those was to come up with a policy proposal for assignment of IPv6 addresses to end sites (right it’s only for ISPs). We didn’t move forward with this but our advisory council will continue working on that.

b) Another proposal was amend the assignment and utilization requirements for IPv6 that’s going to continue in development by the advisory council.

c) There was a proposal to allow IPv6 allocations for people doing anycast. This proposal was defeated.

d) Three proposals for which the advisory council found consensus last fall:

To remove all references to the Africa region of ARIN from our policies manual.
Consensus seems to be in favor of raising the HD ratio from .8 to .94 for IPv6. This is going into last call for comments.
Some small changes in the requirements for allocations based on multihome.

Some other interesting things: Richard Hill from the ITU was there, and his main point seems to be that some governments are saying IP addresses should be allocated differently than they were in the past (15 years ago). He acknowledged that they are being allocated differently. He also mentioned that governments were asking questions and he seemed to be interested in knowing what the answers would be.

LH asked him if he’d heard anything new in terms of comments from the public forum and he said no.

RP added the following: We had 2 round table meetings: 1) one to discuss the requirements for directory services, this featured participation of the US department of Homeland Security and the FBI; 2) another roundtable to discuss the future of IPv4, exhaustion of ipv4 space. I believe that there should be some policy proposals coming out of this in the future.

12) AOB

a) David Conrad designated IANA General Manager (proposed by RB)

RB: I would like the AC to express our satisfaction on the fact that David Conrad became General Manager of IANA.
This was agreed by all.

Action#0511-07 HPH:
To congratulate David Conrad on becoming the new IANA General Manager.

b) Report on the latest RIPE meeting.
It was decided to postpone this item until the Vancouver meeting.

It was proposed to add as one of the agenda items for the workshop in Vancouver to discuss this new format for the AC meetings (agenda).

HPH will send out a message to the list asking for opinions on concrete agenda items and expectations for the meeting.

There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 23.30 UTC.
