Summary
(replace this text with the a one-sentence summary of the resolution) Board directs staff to perform "early awareness tracking" of a Global Policy Proposal for IANA allocation of the remaining IPv4 address space.
Text
Olof Nordling advised that there are numerous projections of dates on the possible exhaustion of IPv4 IANA blocks. A proposal was originally put forward by LACNIC that at a given point of time when a certain number of slash 8 blocks left, from that moment those remaining blocks would be distributed equally to the five RIRs. This has been replaced by putting 'n' an undefined number as the number for the final allocation and by then the IANA pool would be exhausted. This has been discussed in other RIRs and there has been variance to the original proposal put forward where the number 'n' has been put to '1' and other discussions consider it should be '2' rather than '5', these proposals are a variance of one where 'n' remains to be finally decided. The proposal is fairly similar in both cases. Suggestion is to be followed in a similar way in an early awareness provision.

A voice vote was taken of all Board Members present and all Board Members present approved the motion unanimously, by a vote of 13 to 0.
