Hi Seth,

AFAICT, the core of Abraham's proposal is to deploy 240/4 as an
addition to RFC1918 space, to be used as folks' equipment permits.
Activity beyond that (associated with IoT) appears to have no
inter-domain application that need fall within the standards
development space at this time.

Would you care to articulate the showstopper problem you see for the
standards-relevant portion of the proposal?
