Basically, this.

The Internet (and the address distribution towards IANA and the RIRs) 
operates based on IETF standards, and as long as there is no IETF 
standard for IPv4+, it cannot be implemented in an interoperable way,
and can not be deployed.

Elad, this is your avenue: you need to demonstrate two working and
interoperating implementations for two host stacks and two router stacks.

Just claming "it is easy" is not sufficient.


I'm with Christian here: this can not work without significant changes
to the BSD socket API, to applications using this API - basically, everything
on Unix/Linux - to the Windows networking API, and to routers in the ISP
networks that need to decide "which customer is this packet sent to?" based 
on the extra bit.   And I speak with a certain background on implementing
network applications, running an ISP network, and debugging TCP/IP stacks.


Overall, as long as no implementations can be provided (source code on
github etc) this sounds like a somewhat cheap shot to make people believe 
you're going to solve their IPv4 problems if they just vote you to the 
NCC executive board.  And I hope the NCC members are smart enough to not 
vote based on glorious promises, but on track record, provable background, 
etc.
