Hi Rob,

This makes the result similar to using RFC1918 addressing (which provides protection because it can only be routed locally), but without the disadvantages that you mention.
Anyway, I am not that much concerned about that part of the text, it will depend on local policies and we do not use that method of subnet allocation anyway. My main concern at this time is that "outsiders" (not licensed radio amateurs) apparently find our network in their search for IPv4 address space, and make requests that we have to reject. This rejection often leads to discussion (partly because there is no terminate-this-request option in the portal, a coordinator can only accept it or send it back to the requester for more detail). Therefore I think it would be best when those outsiders immediately see that this system is not for them.
Absolutely fair points, and appreciate your taking the time for such a cogent reply to a rather tangential point about the text covering the actual issue of concern here. __
