IP addresses allocated by the RIRs assume hierarchy to facilitate the 
scalability of the routing system.  LISP EIDs do not have any requirement for 
hierarchy. The policies and processes appropriate for the allocation of IP 
addresses do not appear to me to necessarily be applicable to the allocation of 
LISP EIDs.  If LISP is successful, whether the RIRs choose to become LISP EID 
allocators is likely a business decision they’ll need to make.  I personally do 
not think it appropriate to assume they will make that decision.
