Please come down from your soap box again.

The whole thing behind the proposal was "get the process going again",
and it isn't unheard of to do work in parallel in the RIRs and in the
IETF (see the 32 bit AS# policy).

The reason for extending the discussion period is *specifically* to 
see what will happen in the IETF, and then decide how to go ahead with
this proposal.   If the IETF goes for "yes, ULA-C is a good thing", then
we can adapt this proposal accordingly - if they go for "ULA-C is not
going to happen! never ever!" Jordi can withdraw the proposal, and it 
will be history.
