It sounds quite like you have a policy proposal in mind here and the
Policy Development Process (PDP) is the way to progress this, should you
wish.

Obviously the WG chairs are available to help you with this process.
Certainly there would be opportunity to discuss such things in the WG
session at RIPE 58.
