IMO orgs who can get by with a smaller block should be able to request one (with no lower limit: if they really want a /25, they should be able to ask for that). But orgs who receive a block should be removed from the waiting list and must reapply to rejoin it, putting them at the back of the list.
Organizations on the waiting list should have their requests filled only with a block of the size they request. ARIN should not fulfil a /22 request with four /24s, for example. Splitting a block should be fine, though. So if the next few requests on the list are: 1. /24 2. /22 3. /23 4. /25 5. /22 6. /24 7. /25 and a /22 becomes available, requests 1, 3, 4, and 7 should be fulfilled, and requests 2, 5, and 6 should move to the top of the waitlist for the next available block. This will provide a (slight) incentive for organizations to only request what they "really" need, as they're likely to get it slightly sooner than if they have to wait for a bigger block to become available. -Scott On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 1:35 PM WOOD Alison * DAS < [email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hello! > > > > The Policy Experience Report Working Group has been working on the Policy > Experience Report from ARIN 50.
