      If the last section was changed to...<br>
      <br>
      Other critical infrastructure such as core DNS service providers
      (e.g. ICANN-sanctioned root and ccTLD operators) as well as the
      RIRs and IANA, may receive allocations from ARIN, when operational
      need can be demonstrated.<br>
      <br>
      Would this alleviate your concerns?<br>

            years ago, Randy Bush made a point which resonated me:  we
            want to avoid “golden networks”.  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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
