I want to start with stating that I support the overall intention of this
proposal. 

On the topic of why this should be placed in the final /8 and the
combination of LIR's and IXP's, I would ask the community look into the
following: 

There are basically 2 types of IXP's and in order to make use of this
particular type of space, I would recommend that it would be limited to none
commercial - not for profit - IXP's. 

-	Commercial IXP's aka for profit IXP's, should also be able to
sign-up for a LIR status and get IP space from there. 
-	Non-profit IXP's, for the good of the internet, should be able to
get IP space under this particular policy. 

This should be fairly easy for an IPRA to check.
