<div>To be clear, the Draft Policy isn't changing how ARIN handles virtual devices;</div>
<div>we still verify the customer demand driving those virtual servers if you are using</div>
<div>that demand to request additional IP address space. The Draft Policy adds some</div>
<div>consideration about region of those customers, but that's simply additional work</div>
<div>when verifying customer growth.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is not a statement in favor or opposed to the draft policy, simply clarification</div>
<div>regarding the actual effect of its implementation.</div>
