It appears the draft is meant to gauge consensus as per the communication archived at <http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2011-2/response-to-arins-request-for-guidance-regarding-draft-policy-arin-2011-5/>. However, all the content and discussion is essentially deferred to draft-bdgks-arin-shared-transition-space-01.txt, which has a status of "I-D Exists", is not subject to this Last Call and is, to my surprise, an Informative Reference in the draft under consideration. content/nits: o draft-bdgks-arin-shared-transition-space-01.txt would have to be elevated to a normative reference, with all consequences o the document should have operational considerations as in RFC 1918, regarding the leakage of addresses in IP headers and elsewhere (cf. "AS112") o the document does not discuss the risk of the new address space being absorbed as a simple addition to RFC1918 space o the Security considerations are non existent, especially given the long experience with actual and perceived threats connected to RFC 1918 address space o the document would have to change its perspective to as if the address range had already been assigned (no more "proposes" language). o the document ought to expand used acronyms and add references to IETF or other documents, e.g., for CGN, CPE, and other terms o without any judgement re: the "B", this document should aim at BCP status since it would have to give (more detailed) instructions what and what not to do with the assigned/allocated address. o RFC 2119 would have to be elevated to a normative reference o add reference to RFC 6319 Quite frankly, without taking any position on the actual proposal, these bullet items suggest the draft is not ready for publication. -Peter _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
