When someone applies for an address...
Transient users don't need static or even real IP addresses. We could re-invent DHCP...
I am firmly against that. Contrary to the Internet as it is now, we are not a collection of transient users that only use a couple of centralized services, but we are all peers that should be able to both use and offer services and make connections in all directions. That is what makes us different from ordinary internet users, and using dynamic or even translated addresses kills all that and makes the whole AMPRnet superfluous.
