That said, the change from "If the name server set of a ccTLD or a gTLD " to: "If the name server set of an organisation running DNS" The rest of the policy goes on to make the requirement that they have 8 or more IP addresses for the services (pre anycasting) and demonstration of the need to do anycasting.
The new text seems to change the policy to hinge more on the need to anycast as justification for this space, rather than the service being critical infrastructure.
As without that little rule I could simply ask for a nice chunk of /24 PI space for my "DNS servers" which are used for my single domain. (Gert I need a /24 PI for my unfix.org dns servers!!!! kidding :) That said, as this policy is specific for organizations running, why not simply have a "minimum amount of DNS 2nd and 1st level zones served". Giving the criteria "runs one or more TLD's" justification to apply to this policy. And "runs more than a 10.000 1st level domains" justification to apply to it too. (10k chosen arbitrarily, I'll let the folks here figure that number out :) Greets, Jeroen (in the above TLD = ".com", 1st level domain == "example.com", 2nd level domain would be "marketing.example.com", of course for TLD's like .uk, a 1st level domain is "example.co.uk")
