I support this proposal,this is great approach to change useful from harmful address. I have some questions.
1.Current status http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-109/prop-109-v001.txt Some references are quite old ,2010. Do you have latest data? AS15169 has been originating 1.0.0.0/24,1.1.1.0/24,1.2.3.0/24 since around 2012(?). So I think APNIC could show how to use this address for Research purpose in more detail. 2.Roadmap This is simple question. I felt this proposal should be taken on IETF and IANA should assign this address range as specific purpose. How to process this proposal in future?
