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.
