2 is a PNI, not an exchange.

I’d love to see the number be higher, like 3 or 5. If you can’t find
more than two, are you really going to get anywhere?

How'd that happen? I can't seem to pin down a draft to see.
As I researched this, however, I again saw widely and was reminded of
the below.
Here's what we have justification wise in both:
Exchange point operators must provide justification for the
allocation, including: connection policy, location, other
participants (minimum of two total), ASN, and contact information.
Here's what we see a lot as a result (which is not in the spirit of
the policy):
Spaghetti-IX Justification Peer 1: Spaghetti-IX Route Server ASN 65536
Spaghetti-IX Justification Peer 2: Spaghetti-IX Route Server ASN 65537
Spaghetti-IX Justification Peer 1: CedgeoEonnecto (BOS)
Here's what I suggest would be meaningful:
Exchange point operators must justify the allocation by providing the
location of the switch, the contact information information and
public ASN of the initial connecting parties. The initial connecting
pirates must be unique and independent from each other.
Which should result in:
Meatball-IX Justification Peer 1: Unique Network ASN 65536
Meatball-IX Justification Peer 2: Unique Network ASN 65537
Meatball-IX Justification Peer 1: Unique Network ASN 65538
That would prevent quite a bit of cruft IMHO.
