Hi, They are in "careful mode" due to their community's choice. While it might have been useful for all the regions to run out at roughly the same time, i doubt that more than one region would have reached consensus on such a scheme. It certainly would not have been palatable to many in my region. However, if you look at "who got what" just before the last 5 were allocated, apnic did get 2 /8s in that period.

Yes APNIC is still allocating, but they are in careful mode...
I would have allocated so that all RIRs reach the same point more or less at the same time. Seems like ARIN may take a year or two before reaching the end of its pool.
May be something like:
APNIC:4 ARIN:2 RIPE:2 LACNIC:1 AFRINIC:1
10/8

Hi franck,
Whlle we could have a discussion it would be more capacity building than debate, as others have noted, the final allocations have been made.
Afaik, apnic is still allocating and assigning ipv4. According to the global policies developed using the global pdp, each RIR was allocated one /8, when the IANA pool reached 5. How would you have divided up the pool?
Why do you say "stuck"? Apnic has the most liberal IPv4 transfer policies in the world. In any case, there are several economies in asia that are leading in ipv6 adoption which has led to bleeding edge mobile internet deployments.
Rgds, McTim

Everyone talks about TLDs, etc... but IPs are also part of ICANN mandate.
What I notice is that, APNIC is not anymore handing over IPv4 to anyone. RIPE pool of IPv4 is slowly decreasing, but ARIN pool is barely decreasing.
It means that the AP region is stuck to move to IPv6 while NA region has no incentive.
Should there not be a better redistribution of the left over IPs over the RIR, to put all regions on same footing?
I feel there is a debate worth having at ALAC?
