I think you vastly underestimate that task. Try coming up with  
watertight definitions of "for profit" and "non-profit". For bonus  
points, get these definitions to stand up across the NCC's service  
region: national variations in company law, legal entities, governance  
models, etc.

I strongly dislike the notion of sub-typing within these special case  
allocations to IXPs. It adds complexity and there don't seem to be any  
benefits from doing so.

Let's just have a policy which makes space available to IXPs and be  
done with it. That's already one special case too many IMO.
