Policy is dynamic. If the LIR can't determine whether a request fits  
current policy or if it doesn't but the LIR would like to evolve  
policy so that it does, then the discussion needs to take place in  
the wg.

A real world example, needs a real world *specific* example, so  
provide details of the technical requirements for discussion. Does  
the proposed use actually work in the real world? Has it been tested,  
etc? People around here are reasonable. Everyone wants to get their  
business to work, but the frame for discussion is a technical one,  
not a marketing one.
