APNIC recently implemented two policy updates: 1) Increasing the demonstrated needs evaluation period for IPv4 transfers to 24 months. 2) Removing multihoming as an absolute requirement for IPv6 assignments. A current proposal to distribute returned IPv4 address space did not reach consensus and requires further work. APNIC's policy development process and current/past proposals can be found on their website, with the next deadline for proposals being July 17, 2013.
