I oppose the change. Anyone inclined to abuse a two participant standard can easily create or obtain a 3rd participant for said purpose. This is literally a case of change for the sake of change. No, a 3 participant minimum is not an unreasonable standard. However, since it does have some negative impact and is utterly unlikely to be at all effective in deterring abuse, I see no 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.
