Agreed.  In larger companies, the process of getting an officer's 
attention long enough to explain this whole IP request thing will be 
more difficult. In many cases, the difficulty will in fact be roughly 
proportional to the size of the IP request.  In any event, ARIN won't be 
sending the officer anything until you (the requestor) give them the 
officer's e-mail address, though, so you should be able to go through 
whatever internal procedure is required to appropriately escalate the 
issue and get the officer (and his admin, if necessary) up to speed 
before the e-mail from ARIN comes in.  But as John put it, "the 
importance of insuring accurate need-based applications is paramount", 
and this new procedure should help reduce waste and inefficient use of 
IPv4 addresses as we approach exhaustion.
