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.
