This is in line with the proposal. Even for internal use only, country related address blocks are handy for daily operations. The customers of multinational providers get nationalized addresses for the ease of internal and external routing (local peerings). Since each multinational vendor has a local company for operations having a country-related address block like any other (national) provider is perfectly in line.

I agree if you use local in place of national and country. I pertinently do not agree if you confuse network topology with national borders. Grouping by country is not useful. Grouping by provider is. Sub-grouping within a provider can be. Daniel
