This seems to me like a reasonable operational practice for ARIN to use to help prevent a run on the remaining free pool from organizations with large quantities of existing space. Are you trying to change this before free pool runout, or are you concerned with making needs justification a bit

No, but I think it will be before any new policy proposal moving at normal speed takes effect. (The /24 minimum allocation size might take effect before then. If so, that will probably accelerate runout further.) If you think (as I do) that this policy change would still be useful after runout

Paul, The problem I see is in the manner of calculation. Right now each and every allocation must be individually utilized at 80%. This means I can have 3 x /22 utilized at 100% and 1 x /22 at 79% and would not be eligible for more space where an organization with 80% utilization on a single /20
