Why not be a "customer" af ALL individual members ?

If ISP X want to be on AMS-IX, you give an IP from the /64.
And the ISP gives you a /48 and transit.

There is still the multihoming problem, with a little change :
AMS-IX will have a lot of upstreams.

You have independance and neutrality for your transit.

The /64 is given directly by the RIR : you have independance and neutrality for
your IP adresses

The /64 has not to be routable globally.


For the DNS root servers, the problem is that they must have a real PI adress
which is routable globally and which will never change.
