Seconded, and the discussion on the ipv6-wg/lir-wg mailing lists about
this topic *is* open again.

I'm mainly waiting for some decent proposal that includes NRENs and 
major transit-only networks (like NORDunet) but is on the other hand
precise enough to not permit "any single enterprise that claims to 
be 'very important'" to get an sTLA.

I wouldn't really mind if every LIR gets one (1) sTLA, but the last
round of discussion has shown that neither the ARIN nor the APNIC
people are willing to accept this very relaxed policy.
