Hi, Seth:

0)    Thanks for bringing up this pair of Drafts.

1)    While I believe your "IPv4 Unicast Extension" team carried on with 
the first, Avinta got accidentally exposed to the second. After analyzed 
the hurdle it faced in adding on to RFC1918, the EzIP Project is now 
focusing on enhancing CG-NAT by expanding  RFC6598.
