Just to clarify, for those who are not aware, while this virtual IP policy<BR>
was passed, it was suspended by the board.<BR>
<BR>
This policy:<BR>
When an ISP submits a request for IP address space, ARIN will not accept<BR>
IP-based webhosting as justification for an allocation, unless an<BR>
exception is warranted. Along with the request, organizations must provide<BR>
appropriate details demonstrating their virtual webhosting customer base.<BR>
Exceptions may be made for ISPs that provide justification for requiring<BR>
static addresses. ARIN will determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether an<BR>
exception is appropriate.<BR>
<BR>
Was changed to this:<BR>
When an ISP submits a request for IP address space to be used for<BR>
IP-based web hosting, they will supply (for informational purposes only)<BR>
their technical justification for this practice. ARIN will analyze this<BR>
data continuously, evaluating the need for future policy change.<BR>
<BR>
So while there is precedent for this kind of policy, ultimately, the policy<BR>
was effectively overridden and replaced by something much less severe.<BR>
