I disagree; its not reasonable for someone to have to state their  
case for why they need resources on a -wg mailing list.  A sponsoring  
LIR should perform the function of deciding whether an application is  
appropriate.
I'm simply suggesting that there's a hole in current policy (or is  
there ?  Does this resource requirement get covered by 'PI needed to  
multihome'), that we can look to fill with this real world example.
