This is a tough nut.

I can totally see what you do, and understand what space you need, and
for which times.

OTOH, I can totally see the NCC being worried about people claiming
"experiments!  and I need a review!" and running their ISP for a year
on temporary space - and with the argument "I want a dozen routable
/24s", you can get quite some ISP work done.

I want research and conferences and all these things to be possible,
with temporary address space, and policies to be fairly liberal for
"those good things".

The NCC needs checklist-able items to say "this is okay" and "that is
way too much space, you do not need a /16 for 6 months to run a 
conference with 1000 attendees for a week.

How to codify this?  Dunno.

Marco, Angela - what's your take on this ("feedback from RS" time)?
