Source facts ↗

Document version and implementation metadata · APNIC-086 changes its document label from 001 to 002 and dates the new version 19 May 2002. The comments now record full implementation on that date. Apart from header metadata and separators, the retained IPv4 address-management policy text is unchanged; this pair does not support claiming a new allocation rule. Both archived copies are marked obsolete.
