<p>Can you please give us a real-world example? The pre-defined
list of critical operators has served us well over 17 years.
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. </p>

This draft was constructed to break out the micro-allocations into
different sections. There are three sections in this draft,
Internet exchange points, gtlds, and other. <br>
<br>
The definition of what qualifies for a micro allocation has not
changed, it is the first sentence of the draft.<br>
<br>
"ARIN will make IPv4 micro-allocations to critical infrastructure
providers of the Internet, including public exchange points, core
DNS service providers (e.g. ICANN-sanctioned root and ccTLD
operators) as well as the RIRs and IANA."<br>
<br>
So the "other" as referred to in the new section 4.4.3, would be
"core DNS service providers (e.g. ICANN-sanctioned root and ccTLD
operators) as well as the RIRs and IANA".<br>
<br>
The intent of this draft is not to expand the definition of the
section, but to bring clarity to the existing text, define a
separate block for IXPs and reduce the initial block size for an IXP
based upon the feedback and data I received.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
