as I have read the paper it's not yet a (final) report, but merely a 
call for comment on the idea itself, to see whether there is any 
interest at all in having such a number space.

In case there is sufficient interest, I'd only then expect the 
Commission to take the second step and to come forward with a much more 
detailed paper explaining and/or seeking input for the how-to.
