[address-policy-wg] Reopening discussion on RIPE Policy Proposal 2006-05

It's not a bad proposal - there was a great 
discussion before. Arin has implemented this in 
their IP policy and it's been working great FOR 
YEARS. No wonder why we have moved two clients to 
Arin IP space (infrastructure end) because we 
were unable to meet Ripe policy requirements. You 
cannot get a /24 for anycast from Ripe if you 
cannot meet IP usage requirements, except if you 
are a ctld (they call it "critical infrastructure" - I don't).

Why you didn't oppose 
"<http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2008-05.html>Anycasting 
Assignments for TLDs and Tier 0/1 ENUM" policy 
that allows ctld operators now to use 4x /24 for 
DNS anycast? It just got accepted...

If you are filtering /24 routes you are filtering 
out "critical internet infrastructure"... hehe ;)
