Hey, if it can be simpler than the PI policy regime, then by all means. I just 
didn't want people to think that LISP EIDs needed *more* process/policy.

Well I will yield to you on such things.

This is exactly the reason we protocol designer need help from you allocator 
types.

If the process gets too complicated, people will get their addresses the way 
they do today and can and will use them by EIDs. How a corporation advertises 
its EID-prefixes (via BGP route advertisement or Mapping Database registration) 
will be their decision.

Yes, that would be best IMO, and simple.

Who do you think should allocate them? If we want minimal policy and just need 
a well known prefix, why can't IANA just allocate a /16 for the 10 years that 
Luigi indicated in the draft?

Would you agree to this:

(1) IANA allocates a /16.
(2) Divides up equally to RIRs.
(3) When RIRs get requests from corporations, they give them /64s (I won't 
argue if it is /48, /56, or /64), leaving some holes so subsequent requests can 
be best fit to the same corporation.

Is that too simplistic? And if so, why can't it be.
