Dear John:
0) The below message just popped up in my InBox. And, it appears that
there has not been any follow-up comments.
1) How about have a look at our work, (URL below), in case you have not
come across? We propose a very specific way of making use of the 240/4
netblock. There are a couple manifestations from this approach that will
enhance the Internet operations. In a sense, EzIP is a ready-to-go
example that will benefit from the "IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project"
efforts that Mr. Gilmore was referring to.

Your comments and thoughts will be much appreciated.

The draft touches on IANA considerations, but this seems inadequate to
make any more progress and gain wider acceptance. It seems to me there
has been compelling arguments made about the ability to rx, tx, and
relay packets with these addresses, but the real challenge remains,
how should they be allocated? The document should probably request
that they be changed from reserved to experimental explicitly.
Suggesting the IETF/IANA just figure out what to do with them later
seems unsatisfying. Perhaps the equivalent of an IAB-style workshop
report or position paper that goes into potential allocation choices
and effects in detail is worthwhile? I'd imagine you'd get lots of
interesting presentations on a possible allocation strategies and
challenges if you decide to organize something like this. I'd like to
see some options for the IANA/IETF. Let's see someone dissect what if
anything RIRs should get and what the effect of different policies for
the new blocks might be. Let's hear about some interesting new
special-use ideas. I'd love to see someone suggest a spectrum-like
auction to the highest bidder and get doused with rotten fruit... etc
:-) John
