Additionally, if we're talking about pushing draft-weil back for
that much analysis, we're now talking about a non-trivial delay, and
in that case it may make sense to simply put the two drafts back
together since weil was supposed to go through quickly as a minimal
draft with bdgks being the one that the community spent more time on
to ensure completeness and consensus.
The write-up mentions that this important draft should be progressed
in a timely manner. I don't know what gave a sense of this draft
going through quickly. The document got six DISCUSSes. The Last
Call comments were not addressed.
The entire issue is, in my opinion, due to a lack of planning by
vendors of Internet
services. draft-bdgks-arin-shared-transition-space-03 represents the
consensus of the ARIN region only. It is being used as a basis to
ask the IAB, through the IETF, to perform a protocol assignment. It
would set a bad precedent if such an assignment is made without
careful analysis. It would be better if the IETF spares itself the
embarassment given that the IANA Contract is a hot topic.
I suggest that ARIN publishes its policy through the Independent
Stream and documents the IPv4 addresses that will be used for
so-called shared transition space.
