Changing the first "globally" to "publicly" isn't necessary.  Actually, I think 
this whole change just makes things less clear.   Publicly and globally mean 
the same thing.   ULAs are never globally reachable.   If you have more than 
one site, and route ULAs between them, the ULAs have to be routed over your 
private links, not over the public internet.   I get that in principle it may 
be possible to route your ULAs over a link that also carries global traffic and 
that is not "your link," but it would be better to clarify this in an 
additional paragraph; by adding the text where you have, you are going to 
confuse the heck out of any reader who doesn't know what a "multilateral link" 
is.
