justification the waiting list now puts global anycast
deployments, which necessarily involves announcing the same subnet
simultaneously inside and outside of the ARIN region, in a grey
area. By phrasing it this way, it invites further questions and
may cause ARIN staff to reject any waiting list justification that
involves anycast, which is permissible under ARIN policy today. I
don't think this is something we want to do.</p></div></blockquote><div>To comment on this particular point - in my experience, anycast has never been interpreted as out of region use, as long as at least one site advertising the routes is within the ARIN region. If the potential for this to be interpreted differently is a concern for the community, language making this nuance explicit would be ripe for a new policy proposal.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>-Chris</div><br></div><br></body></html>
