A few comments :)

"Following the conclusion of the experiment the results must be 
published free of charge and free from disclosure constraints."

What about 'security work' if someone was doing research on botnets and 
they only want to publish the general report to the public and withhold 
the 'sensitive' part to those under NDA? Surely this should be a 
'negotiated' part of the process where the applicant indicates under 
what conditions they will release the information and NCC can make a 
judgement based on specific criteria (to be added to the proposal of course)

"Resources issued must not be used for commercial purposes during or 
following the conclusion of the experiment."

What is the definition of commercial in this case? If I carry out 
research and then monetise the results, surely this is a commercial purpose.

Would the goals of this proposal not be better set by creating a 
collection of temporary objects under a dedicated LIR that is clearly 
marked as such that are 'loaned' to organisations using them rather than 
creating a new class of registrations in the RIR?
