I disagree that this new text is a no-op or that it makes MDN user's requests more difficult. This policy is intended to make it _easier_ for orgs to get address space for new sites. Under ARIN's current operational practice, ARIN is forcing MDN orgs to use immediate need to get address space for a new site. This policy is intended to make it as easy as...Do you have a new site? Yes> Does it need address space (e.g. does it meet the original critieria already in MDN 4.5.2) Yes>, then you can allocate the minimum allocation size (currently /22) to the new site. Done. This policy does not limit you to a /22 per site, it only says that you start with a /22 unless you can actually show that you need more right away, then you can use a 30 day need to justify what size block to allocate to a new site.
