Ah, I disagree with doing that.  If you do that it will stifle what 
can be accomplished on 630m and likely not enough will migrate to the 
band to defend it from commercial usurpers.  Once ham radio is 
authorized we need to populate the band.

However, we that currently occupy the band, have the opportunity to 
establish preconditioned band usage.  It may be an advantage to 
reserve a CW-only segment so there is less likelihood of cross mode 
interference.

We should maybe consider a DX calling freq?  Most activity will be 
limited in range so a clear freq. for DX might be good.  I'm not sure 
there is enough real estate for reserved freq. for each mode, but 
these are good questions for us to consider.  We can provide good 
steering for a establishing a formal plan.
