Opposed as written.

Agree with the following reasoning. I am OK with the 2 -> 3 change.

I don't have an opinion on the 2 vs 3, though I see it as such a small change 
and given the total number of CI IX assignments (66 over
how many years?) it won't significantly change anything. 

I am opposed to the policy because of this line " IXP's formed as non profits 
will be considered end user organizations. All others will
be considered ISPs."

 This statement will impact the overwhelming majority of Critical 
Infrastructure assignment holders, the majority of which are not IX's.
 The goal of attempting  preservation should be done by how the allocation is 
justified, not how much the entity is billed.   111 of the
CI allocations are not to IX's.  Of the 66 IX allocations it is nearly split 
between end users and ISP's.

benefit to the change.


I agree with Owen on all points and oppose the policy change.  Most 
importantly, this policy change significantly raises the bar
for a legitimate IXP to get started while doing nothing effective to prevent 
what is, effectively, a tiny amount of potential
abuse.
