<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I support this change, but have a few suggestions:<br>
<br>
1) I'd use Critical Internet Infrastructure (CII) as the official term for this<br>
section; Critical Infrastructure seems a bit too vague.<br>
2) Instead of "ARIN will reserve", should we change it to "ARIN has reserved",<br>
since the reservation has already occurred and there's no intention in the<br>
policy to keep the reserved block at a /15 equivalent?<br>
3) Add the following sentence to the 2nd paragraph: "IP Addresses allocated<br>
under this section must only be used for the operation of CII".<br>
The current wording permits an operator of CII to use 4.4 space for any<br>
purpose, which is likely not the intent.<br>
4) In "Assigned addresses may be publicly reachable at the operators discretion<br>
and be used to operate all of the Internet Exchange's infrastructure" replace<br>
"operators" with "operator's".<br>
5) Should we extend this policy to also cover legacy gTLD operators? It seems a<br>
bit weird to call ".aq" Critical Internet Infrastructure, but not ".com", ".net"<br>
or even ".arpa".<br>
