First, either flavor of ULA would only give him a /48 and he's indicated 
that's not sufficient; there's official answer to that situation is getting 
multiple prefixes, which dramatically increases either the odds of 
collisions (Local) or the cost (Central).

Second, IMHO there is no shortage of v6 space that merits denying requests 
from people who can justify use in return for forcing them to renumber 
if/when they connect to the public Internet.  If they never end up 
advertising the space, there is no argument that they're consuming routing 
slots, which is the only reason _not_ to give a PI space to everyone who 
asks.  There's no shortage of /48s.

The _only_ situation I can see where ULA Central has an edge over PIv6 is 
when an org is small enough they don't meet the bar for a global address yet 
has enough private peers that they have a non-trivial chance of collision. 
I believe that such circumstances are rare enough that approving ULA Central 
is not justified.

My two cents as well,
