IMHO, private is appropriate. As noted in other emails, organization is bit too specific. Plus, Private (IPv4) addresses is a well known concept, and it would simpler for IPv4 network (home, organization, etc networks) operators to extend the same understanding to IPv6. CP On Mon, 10 Nov 2003

itojun, Tim has replied technically. I would object to this being published as Experimental. That would be the worst solution, since nobody would have any idea whether it was safe to use it. I'd rather we simply started misusing PA or, indeed, 6to4 space to solve the operational problem. In

Exactly. Either we put this solution on the standards track, eliminating many of the problems of both RFC 1918 and FEC0::/10, and meeting a range of needs, or we continue searching for the perfect solution. If we take the latter approach, we will surely see PA space used for these needs instead,
