Refers to IPv4 allocation units (/8) from IANA to RIRs. IANA to reserve 1x/8 for each RIR. Last /8 to be allocated when IANA pool is empty. Status in other RIRs: ARIN: Approved. AFRINIC: Last Call.

Allocation sizes, max: /22 & min: /24. /22 only to new ISPs with needs for at least a /24 in 12months. /24 to /22 for critical infrastructure.

LAC : Provider Independent (PI) IPv6 Assignments to End User Organizations with PI IPv4 Assignments In LAST CALL until July 28th. Until now, only IPv6 Policies for: ISP, IXP, Critical infrastructure and experiments. No policy for End-User Organizations. Under this policy every organization that has IPv4 assignments will qualify for receiving an IPv6 PI assignment. Assignment size: Min: /48, Max: /32. Announcement needs to be done as one aggregate.

LAC IPv6 Provider Independent (PI) Assignments for Organizations-End Users In LAST CALL until July 28th. When the organization does not have IPv4 assignments, in order to receive an IPv6 assignment it needs to: Provide detailed information showing how the requested block will be used within the following three, six and twelve months. Submit subnetting plans for a minimum of one year, and host counts for each subnet. Submit a detailed description of network topology. Prepare a detailed description of the networks routing plans, including routing protocols to be used as well as any existing limitations.

Current Policies Proposals - LACNIC Policies that did not reach consensus at LACNIC XI and still under discussion: LAC Assignment of ULA-Central IPv6. LAC Modification of the IPv6 Block Announcement Policy: Remove the need of announcing IPv6 blocks as one only prefix. The creation of a WG has been suggested at LACNIC XI.
