<div dir="ltr">Personally, I'm mostly neutral on the idea, it's not a problem I have. We have deployed IPv6, and the 10 net and other specified private or non-unique use block are sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable future. At least until all you IPv4-Only
fuddy-duddies retire or die off. If you are a believer in IPv4-Only, I hope your 401K does really well so you can retire early and make way for the IPv6-Only generation.

<div>However, as an ARIN AC member, one of my roles is to try to help the community to fulfill the community's Internet number resource policy objectives. The only way forward for the allocation of 240/4 from an RIR policy perspective I could think of was a
global policy requesting IANA and the IETF to allocate 240/4. Further, if I wasn't clear, I'm very dubious that there is a consensus for that across the 5 RIRs need for such a global policy. </div>

I'm not the IETF but I am pretty sure we would want to see some<br>
evidence that if it were allocated, it would interoperate. Good luck<br>
with that.<br>
<br>
If you want to use 240/4 for truly private use on your own network, go<br>
ahead. Nobody will ever know.<br>
