Hello! In addition to the criteria that leaked out to list a few days ago I have added the technical problem that is solved by deploying anycast for DNS with a lower number of server names to the list of requirements to get an allocation. So the suggested policy would be: RIPE should be able to allocate a single /24 IPv4 and a /32 IPv6 address block for the operation of anycast DNS servers if: - the operator serves a TLD zone - the number of (planned?) nameservers would lead to a truncation of the authority/additional section in a DNS delegation response containing the NS RRset in [draft-ietf-dnsop-respsize-00.txt 2.9] As far as DENIC is concerned we would love to see this policy in effect as our additional section is already truncated and we would need to remove names from the authority section to gain more space for V6 glues. But we think it is a good thing to keep the network diversity that we have. See you in Amsterdam Andreas Baess
