Summary of discussions to date
------------------------------

- There has been debate as to whether the proposal is outside the scope
   of APNIC policy and that it would be more appropriate for the IETF to
   discuss it.

- A previous proposal, "prop-058: Proposal to create IPv4 shared use
   address space among LIRs", did not reach consensus within the APNIC
   community at APNIC 25 as it was considered to be more appropriate
   for the IETF to discuss.

- However, an earlier proposal, "IPv6 for for documentation purposes"
   was adopted by APNIC in 2002 and was later adopted as an RFC.

Full details of the proposal, including links to previous discussions
of it at earlier APNIC meetings, can be found at:
