[arin-ppml] Micro-allocation policy proposal draft

[Owen DeLong]

My personal opinion is that the existing 4.4 language is quite adequate for the IPv4 needs for critical infrastructure and that there is no need to rearrange these particular IPv4 deck chairs at this time.

I do not see any advantage to the proposed new language.

We want to avoid 8.8.8.8 being designated a critical internet infrastructure service just because it’s successful.  Its absence would not stop the internet from working (in this case, DNS would still resolve just fine).  We want to avoid “anycast” being a “golden network”.  Anycast is an engineering choice, but its existence within a platform is not mission critical.  It just works better that way, maybe, but not more than that.

I've never seen nor heard of something that's truly critical to the operation of the internet that isn't in this list that has petitioned ARIN and failed.   I'm loathe to change it.
