Touche! 

It used to be possible to become a LIR without getting an allocation.
After having focusseed this discussion here really do not want to
expand it again to address-policy ;-) I am sure this will be 
rationalised there eventually ;-(.

Maybe we need a "sponsoring member" category where organisations
like sympathetic ccTLDs could do their duty without contracts and
SLAs. This would serve the purpose of fairness as explained in my 
original mail without the darn overhead of SLAs, liabilities and
other such overhead. Maybe we could have them in several, self
assessed sizes too. (deja-vu! ;-)

Any takers?
