Again...

1. Allocate /18s to make sure that you get large blocks
	back if an organization fails.
2. Make the application TOTALLY OBJECTIVE and have
	clerks handle the processing (not geeks).
3. Charge some fee to pay people for their time and energy
	and to discourage 14 year olds from forging applications.
4. Make both the delegate and the two (minimum) upstream
	providers certify that more specific routes will not be
	advertised from the block.
5. Require that upstream providers and the delegates register
	annual renewal applications to avoid having these blocks
	falling in the cracks and changing hands, etc.

============

Here is a short form 1040/18 EZ that the U.S. Government
could be using to allocate /18 CIDR Blocks.
