Ah, so you're in the camp that a /10 given to one organization for their private use would have been better than reserving that /10 for _everyone_ to use. We'll have to agree to disagree there.
you forced an rfc allocation. that makes public space, and is and will be used as such. you wanted an 'owned' allocation that you and your friends control, you shoulda gone to the rirs.
Usually I manage to keep the Strangelove hand in check and not feed the troll, but the matter was raised (at least in the ARIN region). https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2011_5.html I believe that the arguments that shared transition space were IETF's purview were compelling. I'm no fan of non-globally-unique space in general, but forcing the RFC route was the least-worst route for things to move forward. Randy, I trust that you're also vigorously advocating people's use of UK-MOD-19850128 (aka net 25) as "just more 1918 space" inside their organizations too? After all, it's what I encourage *my* competitors to do. -r
