Hi, Suriya:
0) I am glad that you requested off-list follow-ups, because what I
am going to share is quite controversial. With a general distribution
list, a discussion can easily be pulled off the track by personal /
emotional opinions or business interests, as you might have noticed on
the NANOG Forum in the past.
1) I would recommend you to consider replacing 100.64/10 netblock
with 240/4 netblock for the CG-NAT configuration. This will reduce your
need for IPv4 addresses by 64 fold, thus mitigating the IPv4 address
shortage that you are facing.
2) Although there have been (and still are) various attempts to make
use of the 240/4 netblock, none has approached it in a universal sense
as our proposal, called EzIP (phonetic for Easy IPv4). Others are either
piecemeal solutions for special cases or limited scope applications.
They will fragment the Internet and lead to chaos. Characterized by
Vint Cerf as an "Overlay Network", EzIP scheme forms a new layer of
communication infrastructure that is independent of, yet in arm's-length
with the current Internet core. So that, EzIP can retain the desired
properties of the existing Internet, while shaking off the handicaps.
The former maintains the operation characteristics as CG-NAT to avoid
perturbing users, while the latter enables the Internet revamping into a
new era. This far-reaching implication is possible because EzIP resolves
the most fundamental issue of user identification resources. From such,
many constraints are either relaxed or simply removed.
3) For a general introduction, please have a look at the below pair
of documents.

4) Since this topic touches many aspects of the Internet and we are
not an operatorbut just a system analyst, we likely have not covered
many aspects that hands-on parties like you are familiar with. Please
browse through our website to see other background information which may
be relevant, then let us know your concerns. So that we can evaluate
them for you.

Hi NANOG,
We are running short of IPv4 addresses.
We are a small ISP and longer prefixes are okay with us (even /24s).
Please contact me off-list.
(Proper ROA coverage is a must).
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Suriya
