Hi Tyler, This would have the effect of changing the draft's IXP initial requirements from "must have 3 participants not under common control" to something along the lines of "must have 128ish participants within 24 months." (NRPM 4.3.3) It could similarly obligate the DNS operators to employ 128 servers within the /24. That seems a little challenging to me. What are your thoughts?
