If an org with no resources applies they should at least be able to get the
minimum which has been set by this community which I think is currently at a
/22. Always!
If an org wants larger than a /22 they need to be able to demonstrate in a
reasonable way that they are a larger org with a network size that justifies a
larger allocation. The first way is what allocation do they already have? If
they have say a /19 or equivalent maybe they can demonstrate they need say
another /19 by furnishing to ARIN maybe their financials and the investment
they have actually made to justify another /19 or whatever. (I'm just using
the /19 as an example.)
If an org wants say a /9 which is obviously a very large block, they need to
justify that in a similar way that T-Mobile did with ARIN a while back when
they got something like 3/4 of a /8.
Organizations supply financials to Banks all the time and this and supplying
network info can be a similar process. If an org can prove they just spent 50
million on a new data center then that should be justification to get an
allocation of a size to run that size data center.
So if we want the current minimum we should just apply and it should be
allocated, and as long as we keep paying our fees to ARIN it is ours to use.
If we stop paying that block goes back into the pool that ARIN has to allocate.
If we want a /19 or a /16 then we need to satisfy ARIN that we are an org of
that size and have a network that justifies a /19 or a /16. And maybe prove
the actual expenditures.
And if we want a /9, regardless of what we have now, we're gonna really have to
provide solid info that justifies the size of our org and the size of our
network justifies a /9.
This is not rocket science. It would however require the input of the many
knowledgeable members of this community to help determine what is require at
each level. I think this community could handle that just fine!

So which is it? Should they never EVER turn down resource requests? Or should
they "right-size" them, which by any definition you might set means there are
some requests they would deny altogether?
Do you truly fail to see the logical inconsistency in the paragraph above?
