Colleagues,

The IESG has observed very rough consensus in favor of the allocation proposed in draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request. Therefore, the IESG will approve the draft. In order to acknowledge dissenting opinions and clarify the IETF position regarding IPv6, the IESG will attach the following note:

"A number of operators have expressed a need for the special
 purpose IPv4 address allocation described by this document.
 During deliberations, the IETF community demonstrated very
 rough consensus in favor of the allocation.

 While operational expedients, including the special purpose
 address allocation described in this document, may help solve
 a short-term operational problem, the IESG and the IETF remain
 committed to the deployment of IPv6."

Regards,
The IESG
