I believe the community has been very open with this request.

I believe upholding the policies on which the 6BONE was founded for making any decisions related
to this manner is exactly what we should expect, and exactly what we got. Might I ask why you say
they could offer 'high quality' IPv6 services with only one IPv6 transit uplink?

If pTLA requests don't conform to RFC2772 they should not be allocated a pTLA.

If CTN1 is truly a partner of NDSOFTWARE why are you not allocating them address space.
ND was allocated a /32 for this purpose, were they not?
