During the comment period, there was no comment in favour and 5 comments
against the proposal.
Neither the proposer nor the supporters of this proposal have

+ This proposal duplicates existing efforts and won't do anything to
fix the current problem.
+ This is more about education than spending members' money.
For a detailed history of this proposal, see:

Side Note:
----------
The proposal's goal was to solve the problem of routing allocations
from new /8s allocated by IANA. Although there was opposition to
the specific solution in this proposal, there was an understanding
by those who commented on the mailing list that this is a problem
that needs to be tackled. Randy Bush showed his intention to propose
to tackle this.
