If my organization is large, and I will petition my ISP for a

desire.
I did not see a provision in the draft that would allow me to do
that. Is that correct - there is no provision for generating a
shorter prefix?
Why would you even need to? If you have so many subnets, they are
probably NOT located in one physical location. You could just
generate multiple ULA prefixes (e.g., one per physical site, one per
continent or whatever) and hook them together in the routing?
