I doubt it, because these protocols are not good ideas.

KRP doesn’t just assume routing follows political geography, it requires
it. That’s just terrible network design.

NEP has just three metrics: bandwidth (but not capacity), hop count, and
delay (RTT?). How does a router know these values for every possible
destination address? But it’s not three metrics, it’s one comprising those
three, because you know the exact best mix of metrics for every network.
As a simple exercise, consider what happens when somebody adds or changes
a router or link six hops away: how long does it take for all routers to
advertise the update and respond to advertisements and advertise updates
from that? 

There is nothing salvageable from these proposals: they are fundamentally
naive about networking.

I can’t even think of what to suggest to you.
