The virtual train has left the station.  80% of the servers we are doing now are Virtual and most need Internet IP addresses.  Almost all of the Internet IP addresses I’m assigning today are being assigned to virtual servers.  Treating them somehow like they are different than say a router in that they need one or more IP addresses makes no sense.  An Internet IP address - is an Internet IP address - is an Internet IP address - no matter what it is assigned to.

I don’t like adding needless restrictions.  -1

To be clear, the Draft Policy isn't changing how ARIN handles virtual devices;
we still verify the customer demand driving those virtual servers if you are using
that demand to request additional IP address space.  The Draft Policy adds some
consideration about region of those customers, but that's simply additional work
when verifying customer growth.

This is not a statement in favor or opposed to the draft policy, simply clarification
regarding the actual effect of its implementation.

FYI,
