PTLA requirements

While I believe that the minimum tunnel requirement may not be the best and most reasonable
idea, based on geographic distribution of sites, and all the other reasons mentioned, I do believe
that there should be some mechanism in place such that we can guarantee that the vast majority of PTLA 
owners are serious about the 6-bone... Maybe something such as "all PTLA owners must accept reasonable peering 
requests with other PTLA owners, and seriously consider requests for downstream sessions wiht those desirous of 
6bone connectivity", though this brings into account the need to define "seriously".

Any thoughts?
