I had a proposal that nobody commented on :-) - it didn't mention
"critical" anywhere, so maybe it wasn't sexy enough.

I suggested:
--------------------------
 - Anycast deployment  
 - multiple distributed servers bring benefits for the whole community
 - due to protocol limitations this cannot be done using other approaches
   (like "put up 100 servers at various ISP networks, using PA space from
   those ISPs")
--------------------------

Now it's up to you people out there to come up with something better
that

 a) solves the problem at hand (and not tries to solve everything else
    while at it - we're not going to save the world today, sorry)

 b) can be evaluated by a RIPE NCC hostmaster, so there must be clear
    and *easy* rules - it needs not be easy to get the space, but to
    say "you go - you don't" should be easy.

Of course we could add something like

 - is accepted in a peer review (following this-and-that procedure)

if that's what people want.
