John C Klensin suggested as one option:
* Fix the BCP to accommodate this case, i.e., to give the IAOC the authority to accept unsolicited, sole-source proposals for outsourced operations if that seems appropriate to them, even if those proposals do not fufill some of the principles of the BCP itself or
I think the text Bert circulated as the resolution of Issue #788: Section 3 - Which functions should be done "in-house" allows this. It doesn't mention sole-sourcing, but it doesn't forbid it either.
