Brett - Actually, the analysts first work to determine the prior run rate of address utilization so two analysts get the same numerical result if given the same supporting information by the requesters. This has been confirmed many times, when requests that are appealed get calculated again by our COO and myself, and the calculation is independent of request size. Once we have the run rate, it is extrapolated out 3 months as required by NRPM 4.2.2 allocation policy to see if request is warranted. It is possible that parties who can now receive a /24 will obtain a smaller block than they would if they otherwise waited, but that result obviously that is a choice on the part of the requester.
