I (possibly erroneously) seem to remember that some sponsoring DDs more or less require it. As with anything [0], if you have a good reason not to be able to have your key signed, something can be worked out. OTOH if you're living in a place where it's not that difficult to get a signature, it's only reasonable to expect you to do that as early as possible. Kind regards Thomas 0. More recently there's more exceptions to that and less exceptions to other thins, but I won't get into politics. -- Thomas Viehmann, <http://thomas.viehmann.net/>
