Re: [sig-policy] prop-085: Eligibility for critical infrastructureassign
I support the idea of making sure critical infrastructures can receive
IPv4 space, but I think we can accomodate this needs from the reserved
block we have today. (as shown by the data)
So I have a question to Terence -
Would it solve your problem if we explictly state
"Critical Infrastructure assignments will be continued to be allowed
until the current reserved block for Critical Infrastructures runs out"?
(i.e, secure assignments for critical infrastructures from the reserved
block today, even after the regular APNIC pool runs out)
The current policy is ambiguous if we can continue to allow assignments
from this reserved block after regular APNIC pool runs out, so I can see
that it's worth explicitly defining this.

>>> The question in my mind relates to if 203.119/16 is 100% set aside for critical infrastructure assignments or not, given that section 11.3 doesn't actually say. If so then I struggle to see what real live problem prop-085 is going to solve. My belief is that the final /8 will have its assignment policy set and will be all consumed well before enough new critical infrastructure organisations can form and apply to use up the remaining space in 203.119/16 which would imply a restraint in the wrong direction.

With still over 60% of the 203.119/16 still remaining and a consumption rate at such a low level, and even with the new IDNs (which generally go to the existing gTLD/ccTLD) and TLDs I would rather see an pragmatic analysis of the proposed CI demand backed by facts which coincide by the last /8 mark to say that the CI /16 would be consumed by then and there would be a very very high likely-hood of another block from the /8 required for CI.. if we aren't all on IPv6 by then.
