What we may need is an open process: every application (or parts of it),
in addition to "LIR" rule, will be subject to 1-2 weeks of public
evaluation.

Add a note about being "A significant ISP" to the rules.  Note: you can 
never define this exactly, but everyone should know whether they are or 
not.  Add a public appeals process if need be.

If enough people cry out, "they're not an ISP!" when reading the 
evaluation, not give them block.  Application is renewable once a year.

I'll be very happy to shoot down Microsoft, Compaq, IBM, Nokia or whatnot.
