Dear Colleagues:

0)    I was just made aware of a current IETF Draft discussion on 
reducing the 127/8 netblock allocated for Local Loopback to 127/16 in 
order to free up mostly unused resources in that portion of the IPv4 
address pool. In studying this lead, I discovered that there are at 
least a few similar ongoing IETF Drafts being proposed by the "IPv4 
Unicast Extensions Project":

     A.    Unicast Use of the Formerly Reserved 0/8 (Version 00: 
2021-11-07):

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-schoen-intarea-unicast-0-00

     B.    Unicast Use of the Formerly Reserved 127/8 (Version 00: 
2021-11-08)

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-schoen-intarea-unicast-127-00

     C.    Unicast Use of the Lowest Address in an IPv4 Subnet (Version 
00: 2021-10-20)
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-schoen-intarea-unicast-lowest-address-01

     D.    Unicast Use of the Formerly Reserved 240/4 (Version 00: 
2021-10-19)

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-schoen-intarea-unicast-240-01

1)    In particular, the last Draft deals with the same netblock that 
our team has been reporting since 2016:

         Adaptive IPv4 Address Space (Version 00: 2016-12-14)

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-chen-ati-adaptive-ipv4-address-space 


Since we were advised several times in the past that IPv4 related topics 
were no longer active IETF tasks, we have been only updating our drafts 
as lab notes about our progress. Upon a quick scan, I believe that our 
scheme, nicknamed EzIP (Phonetic for Easy IPv4) is more concise and 
capable than, while avoiding most of the considerations expressed by,  
the other drafts.

2)    Now that the correlation have been established, may I request to 
include our proposal with the above discussions so that we can have a 
more efficient and productive use of our resources?
