Just a thought: A technical person might be very happy to lie to a toothless organization that holds no real sway over him or her, won't revoke the address space once granted, and for whom the benefit of lots of address space in which to play exceeds any potential pain from being caught, er, exaggerating their need for address space.

That same technical person might be less inclined to lie to a director of their company who asks: "Are you asking me to attest, publicly and perhaps legally, that this information is correct? If you're wrong and you make an ass of me, it's going to be yours that goes out the door."

Seems like a reasonable experiment to try, at least.


I agree there is no harm in the idea but as I was reading the announcement this morning I couldn't help but think "Too little, too late".
