ISP Propose
Anyone can propose
At the end of the introduction of myself, I will focus on the main topic about the TWNIC. Firstly, the TWNIC policy making process is shown in this figure. We have an IP committee organized by 17 experts in TWNIC. Any delivered IP policy in Taiwan should be passed this committee. When the policy passes the endorsement of the IP committee, the policy could be announced and implemented.
In Taiwan, the policy proposal will come from two ways. One is the APNIC policy and the other is the consensus policy from the TWNIC open policy meeting. The proposal in TWNIC OPM is obtained from the ISP’s proposal or the conclusion of the TWNIC member meeting.

10. SIG 1: Address SIG Proposal 1: IP address transfer procedure for LIR
customers
Motivation: When the mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers of LIRs, what’s
the guideline for the transfer of the address space for the LIR.
Discussion:
APNIC policy document: Policies for IPv4 address space management in the Asia Pacific region
9.9 Transfer of address space
12 Mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers of LIRs
Does LIR need the policy or the guideline for the partial transfer of address space?
Does LIR need the agreement of customers?
Does LIR need to confirm the transfer scale to follow the minimum allocation policy?
Is there any problem in the routing aggregation?
How to charge the annual fee?
Consensus:
This issue will form a working group to
survey more opinions of LIR.
The working group will draft a guideline
for this transfer issue in the next
TWNIC OPM.

11. SIG 1: Address SIG Informational: IP HD Ratio report
Motivation: APNIC proposed a new formula to judge the IPv4
address utilization.
Discussion:
What is the HD ratio utilization and its requirement using the HD ratio formula
How to handle the efficiency and the requirement in the hierarchy management of IP space
Consensus:
TWNIC survey the opinion
of ISP about the 80%
utilization v.s. HD ratio.
Consider the affect of the
HD ratio for all ISPs in Taiwan.

12. SIG 2: Routing SIG Informationtal 1: The status of Taiwan internet
looking glass
Motivation: There haven’t yet the public looking glass
service for ISPs in Taiwan. Looking glass
service can decrease the difficult in tracing
routing problems.
Suggestions:
ISP could establish its secure and public trace route server for other ISP to acquiring the routing information by himself to decrease the trouble shooting effort.
Next OPM meeting can invite the Sonet company to share the experience and the solution in the security issue of looking glass service.

13. SIG 2: Routing SIG
Report 2: The notification procedure of the new IPv4
allocation in the Bogon List
Description: To introduce the notification procedure of
the IP allocation in IANA/APNIC /TWNIC
and how to handle the change of the bogon list in TWNIC.
Consensus:
Because the Bogon list issue affect the ISP daily operation a lot, we suggest TWNIC to keep tracking the new notification procedure for Registry/Registrar and mail list for the new bogon list.
TWNIC will present the status report for the notification solution from the bogon list issue in the next TWNIC OPM.

14. SIG 2: Routing SIG
Report 3: The introduction of the IPv6 Multicast service
Topics:
To introduce the difference of the multicast between IPv4 and IPv6.
To introduce the multicast service in Hinet IPv6 backbone.
Concensus:
The interested ISP or
individual person are
welcome to test this service
and provide any suggestion.

15. SIG 3: DB and Reverse DNS SIG
Proposal 1: TWNIC WHOIS database and its privacy issue
Topics:
To introduce the privacy issue of the data in the WHOIS database related to the Taiwan privacy law.
To introduce the global policy in the WHOIS database and the requirement of APNIC WHOIS database.
Suggestions:
Suggest continually to
identify the privacy issue
in the WHOIS database to
match the related law in
Taiwan.

16. SIG 3: DB and Reverse DNS SIG
Proposal 2: WHOIS DB query
Topics:
Propose to change the data flow of the WHOIS customer assignment. LIR provide query interface to access its data in the WHOIS database.
Suggestions:
The presenter needs to provide the open source of the query software in the client and server architecture for the testing in the interested ISP.
When the utilization statistics of IP space is needed, the architecture needs to provide the batch function to upload the WHOIS data.
The security issue of the Client/Server
software needs be solved for the usage of LIR.

17. Meeting acquaintance
SIG Chair/Co-Chair successfully lead the discussion activity.
The attendance and the opinion from Mr. MAEMURA AKINORI and APNIC trainer make the meeting more successful.
Using this bottom-up procedure in the OPM meeting, some policy issues are well discussed and made consensus.
