Semantics. When two out of four IANA employees tell others to go ahead and 
submit an application, and even go so far as to tell them how to go about 
that process, even informally, I'd call that something "semantically 
similar" to a solicitation.

Submissions started in response to this message from Jon Postel:

http://www.iiia.org/lists/newdom/1995q3/0233.html

Hardly a whim. And the period of time of submissions was exactly the length 
of time between the above message and the creation of the IAHC (when IANA 
published their list). This can be verified from the time stamps noted on 
the IANA list (9/14/95 through 11/28/96):
