Thanks for your comment and sharing APNIC's position, Son.
It would be nice to learn the situation in other regions too. I
assume RIRs are working very closely in request evaluation as well,
but perhaps, we need further discussions if the situation differs by
regions?
As has been noted, the current policy is not clear. This makes things
difficult for both those requesting address space and those evaluating
requests. There are no clear criteria for approving requests for a
closed use network. Consequently, decisions on requests for address
space for private networks tend to be made on a case-by-case basis. We
have not had many requests for space for closed networks. This is no
doubt partly because the policy text can be interpreted to mean that
such requests are not justified.
