Or perhaps keep it supremely simple: "Any org-ID may obtain one transfer allocation of size not to exceed the largest allocation within the XX-Small category (currently a /22, as of the 2013 fee schedule) per year without requiring needs justification." That way, as our concept of ISP size shifts and changes over time, so too does the maximum needs-free allocation size. [after writing the first paragraph, I realized we probably don't need to limit who can make use of this; the larger org-IDs aren't going to bother messing around with xx-small sized allocations, so it should be self-limiting.] Thanks!
