Sorry, I cannot agree with the proposed policy as it stands since:

1. The idea of issuing a single/multiple /64 is totally unnecessary.
2. As stated many times by many, the IXP need globally routed space, which
they cannot get under present normal sTLA allocation rules.

Allocate a /48 (or larger), and remove the comments about not being "globally
routable" and I would be happy.

Cheers
