The basic policy issue seems to me:

  - who can get a (globally routeable [1]) IPv6 prefix

it might affect the policy "who can get an AS number".


The basic technical issue seems to be:

  - is "IPv4-style" BGP multihoming the correct way to do in IPv6


[1] globally routeable in the sense of "the majority of the participants
in the global IPv6 routing system will be able to send packets that way".
