[ipv6-wg] IPv6 policies & BGP announcements

This is really the LIR's call because it's within their prefix.  There
are no other rules regarding prefix announcements.

Not necessarily.  For IPv4, there are some folks who use RIR data to
create filters, so having such an object would be beneficial.  I don't
know about the state of IPv6 filtering.  A lot of operators likely
discard anything longer than /32 in the RIR allocation space.

ARIN offers IPv6 PI space, perhaps you can get a /48 prefix which is
supposed to be globally routable from them.
