pTLA request SSVL - review closes 3 May 2002

[Pekka Savola]

Hello!

Absolute no!  There are two no's here:

1) SUNET already has a block, and it should assign a part to KTH
  ==> KTH applying for s/pTLA would be wrong

2) KTH should get a block and it should assign a part to SSVL.
  ==> SSVL applying for s/pTLA would be *double* wrong.

We do *not* want to get down the road where facilities of universities 
apply for s/pTLA's.

Based on current knowledge, this pTLA request MUST BE rejected or else 
RFC2772 will need SERIOUS rewording.
