Summary of discussion since last summary
----------------------------------------
- During the transition to IPv6, 'double NAT' will be needed.
Because ISPs have no control over what RFC 1918 space end users
use, the extra 'shared space' proposed would be useful for ISPs.
- It is wasteful that organisations are currently using public
space for private addressing. This proposal addresses that
problem.
- Is APNIC the correct forum for this proposal?
- The proposal was passed by the JPNIC community. Perhaps if it
is adopted by the APNIC community, it could be presented to
other regions or at the standards level (such as IETF).
- APNIC has no recognised mechanism for declaring global unicast
addresses to be non-routable on the public Internet
- A global policy alone may not be enough to declare additional
private use address space. IANA may require an IETF action as
a precondition for registering additional private address
space.
- This is similar to ULA-C. Similar proposals in the past have not
been successful.
- Perhaps the size of the shared use address space could be reduced
to between /12 and /16
