Hi Owen, Needs testing is not merely a vehicle to save the remaining free pool. If that were true, then we would not have subjected the transfer policies to needs testing. Prior to the 12 month waiting period for transfers which was implemented in 2012, needs testing was *indeed* required

Orphaned meaning there is only a contiguous block of the Minimum size the existing policy dictates. As I understand it there are a lot of /24 blocks that are non-contiguous and therefore could only be allocated by ARIN as a /24 and not as a single larger block such as a /23 or a /22, etc.
