Again, you seem to be missing the point...
I hope we agree that those organizations can discuss anything they like.
Even CISCO, the company you and Fred Baker work for, can do as you please.
As for the rest of the world...
Advanced routing topics are an interesting area. Some people will find
them interesting and some will not. Some people might find it interesting
to view IP addresses as "opaque handles" as opposed to host addresses.
Some people might be interested in the view that the Internet is a large,
distributed, object-oriented processing system and that IP addresses are
opaque handles for the objects. Some people might find it interesting to
discuss how the DNS can be used to store PSW (Processor Status Word)
information for this distributed computer architecture and how addressing
modes for part of the IP address space can be changed from real to virtual
with the flip of a DNS switch. I could go on and on but I will not bore you...
@So, until we see IPv8 submitted somewhere, lets end this discussion. It's
@not irrelevant to APNIC discussions.

IPv8 is out there, it does not need to be submitted anywhere. You are
taking a "protocol-centric" view of the world. You assume that engineers
are foolish and will walk up with their RFC in hand ready to be chewed up
by the IETF clique and rejected as the IETF spends its time debating how
many angels can dance on the head of a pin or where the next trade show
is going to be held with the best parties...No...no thanks...
@BTW - Asia & Pacific Internet politics and regional trade show are more
@applicable to APNIC members than IPv8.
@
I am sure they are. That will sell more CISCO routers, that's for sure.
