Owen -
To be clear, ARIN is inclined to approve requests whenever it is possible
to do such in compliance with policy. Given the leeway in the present
policy text, we're likely to approve any reasonable request which is made
under this policy, and it would not be difficult to imagine requests for
/24 being approved as a result. If pooled use/oversubscription or specific
technologies are required, it would be very helpful to provide additional
policy text to staff.
Thanks!
