IMHO “Should” and “May” have no place in policy. They are both no-ops as they place no restrictions and carry no authority. They would be perfectly at home in a best practices document, but serve no function in policy.

Would you consider changing 'should' to 'shall' to suggest mandatory requirement?
And
> justify why a larger allocation >(is required)
'is required' to
'should be allocated'

result:
If an organization requires more resources than stipulated by the applicable minimum allocation in force at the time of their request, their request should clearly describe and justify why a larger allocation is required.
I think this not only parses better, but is more accurate.
The first change resolves a grammar error.
The second change avoids ambiguity between whether all requests are subject to all minimums in this case vs. the intended meaning that the minimum applicable elsewhere in policy.
The third change is because their documentation should be documentation of an experiment, not experimental documentation and what we really care about is the information provided in their ARIN request anyway.
I think since this is a minor change which does not alter the meaning of the policy and does improve readability and clarity, that we should probably go ahead and incorporate it as you proposed prior to last call.

I think "should" is sufficiently strong, and gives ARIN Staff a little
wiggle room to do what makes sense. There really have never been that
many experimental allocations.
We had a big whoopsie with all 5 RIR's authorizing /12 anchor routes.
ARIN probably won't do that again anyway, but it's still worth a small
fix in policy, just to be clear about it. The sentence is question is a
little rough, so while we are at it a little editorial clean up is
probably in order, but please let's not over do it.
I really would like to hear from a few more people about if this
editorial change is a good idea or not, even a few +/-1s would be helpful.
Thanks.
