always good to have folk from outside the region telling everyone what
they SHOULD do.
I agree with David and I represent an APNIC member, so you can’t really consider me “outside the region”.
At best, those provisions are an invitation to abuse. In reality, this policy really is an attempt at an end-run on the IETF process for special use address space. The RPKI/Registration requirements attempt to legitimize that end-run.
