The existence of a new number resource would not be an issue that
this group would look at - that is clearly an IETF issue. The plans
on how to do it (it might require some complex systems, for instance,
depending on how the new resource is distributed and to whom, or the
level of security to be associated with access to the registry) would
be the question. In the past, automation processes have been
something that NTIA definitely was involved in.
