I think the proposal for implementation as outlined is sound (wearing
my hat as the manager of an LIR which sponsors some resources for our
community).

There's one (minor) loose end maybe, where I don't easily understand the
background or goal for a First Track item:

<quote>
° A resource is transferred from one sponsoring LIR to another,
  or to the infrastructure of an LIR
</quote>

The transfer case is obvious, but I'm not sure that a resource needs a
"sponsored-by" label pointing to self? IIRC we already do have assignements
of resources for an LIR's/ISPs infratructure. So wouldn't we create two
different flavours of "infrastructure"?

I may easily miss something, though :-)

Wilfried
