In the original proposal the authors suggested a way for ARIN to be able to 'dig deeper' if they chose to and included this: "Staff can reasonably validate hardware and participants intent" The expectation is if ARIN staff were still concerned about the veracity of an application for resources they could always ask for the _ARIN region_ datacenter where the exchange point was being hosted to simply prove it. An email from the DC or a copy of a colo agreement, much like we do with asking applicants to prove dual homing, would be reasonable and sufficient. To be clear in case, that was also to close the virtual internet exchange and pretend IX hole. Ensuring there's a physical switch and a data center location in the region ensures privileged resources aren't wasted. For these folks, v6 is an entirely reasonable alternative through normal channels. What was the problem with that language(s)? Thanks, -M<
