I think that it is fine to leave this as it is until we actually have an
industry association create a new OF.    
It is a shame that we didn't reserve some numbers for private use.

If you think we should reserve some for private use (1K is enough), and
set aside 8K or so for First Come First Served or Expert Review, I will
write that document.
