ARIN bases their policy upon input from their membership, or so
I am led to believe by their staff. They didn't just arbitrarily pick /19
(/20 currently) as being cutoff. In addition, they have no say in what makes
space routable. That is set semi-arbitrarily by your (or someone else's) NSP.
As noted in an earlier post, there will be a public policy meeting
for ARIN in October. If you don't like current policy come express your
views.
