If it benefits members then it is reasonable APNIC would fund such an effort. As Sanjaya pointed out, there have been numerous occasions where members have been allocated blocks from a new /8 only to find that they are being filtered at various points. So I guess politically this is an issue where APNIC needs to be seen to be doing something. The question though is this particular proposal going to solve the problem? People with a lot more experience in routing than myself seem to be saying no fairly loudly, so I would tend to agree. Tim.
