- Level 1: administer IPv6 blocks of any size and/or IPv4 blocks equivalent to a /19 or smaller: 1 vote
- Level 2: administer IPv4 blocks greater than a /19 and smaller than a /16: 2 votes
- Level 3: administer IPv4 blocks equivalent or greater than a /16 and smaller than a /14: 3 votes
- Level 4: administer IPv4 blocks equivalent or greater than a /14 and smaller than a /11: 4 votes
- Level 5: administer IPv4 blocks equivalent or greater than a /11: 5 votes
- Active B members: 1 vote
