I should have added that ULA-C is not currently defined in any RFC, the 
whole prefix FC00::/7 is defined for ULA in RFC 4193, but FC00:/8 is 
technically reserved, only FD00::/8 has been defined so far. There have 
been a number drafts looking to define centrally assigned ULA (ULA-C), 
the most current one is at the following URL;
