Hi Gaurab,
Thanks for your comments.
As far as I know, according to the Resource ranges allocated by APNIC:
http://www.apnic.net/publications/research-and-insights/ip-address-trends/apnic-resource-range
218.100.0.0/16 Used to make /24 assignments to Internet Exchange Points (IXPs)
203.119.0.0/16 Used to make /24 assignments to Critical Infrastructure
Of course, it will be helpful if some one from the secretariat can verify that and
shed some light on how many assignments have been make from that block
and the utilisation rate, etc.
In case the allocation rate on the already reserved blocks are low, I'd
like to suggest that the policy add a condition that those blocks be
used before new allocations are made from the final /8.
I am not quite sure what the above mean. If there are still addresses
available for distribution from this block, it's pretty straight forward
to make assignments from this block as long as assignments are permitted
in the policy. I am not sure if that is what you mean, I am happy to add
that condition if neccessary.
Regards
Terence Zhang

hi,
- From the secretariat, I'd like to know which are the ranges currently
used for critical infrastructure allocation and what is the allocation %
for those blocks. I can only find the IXP allocation block
(218.100.0.0/16.) but not the DNS related block, which possibly is
203.119.0.0/16)
In case the allocation rate on the already reserved blocks are low, I'd
like to suggest that the policy add a condition that those blocks be
used before new allocations are made from the final /8.
This is important, because lots of routing policies are based on giving
special dispensation to critical infrastructure blocks.
In General, I support this policy. It covers some very limited corner
cases, but nevertheless important corner cases to do with critical
infrastructure. From my reading of the proposal, it also gives
continuity to the current Critical Infrastructure policy. Though,
practically, I don't see this policy being used for allocation for a
long time in future, but the data I ask above may help us judge that.
