I think that 1C is definitely valid, and probably where the original
/20 minimum came from.

Scenario 4 is what I was thinking of when I made the comment. I think
that this would open the door for smaller operators to get needed
addresses (without potentially being held over the coals by an
upstream) without opening any dangerous loopholes or introducing any
bias towards any particular type of Org.

If the addresses are to be handed out quarterly, then I think either a
24 or 48 month reservation period is better. A choice between the two
might be ideal but may also be more complicated than needed.

48 months obviously works with the /24 each quarter to a /20 minimum
reservation over the 48 month period. You could drop the minimum to
/21 and make it a 24 month period (maybe drop the maximum in this case
as well) in that scenario too...

32 months would favor a bimonthly dole.

Either way, I still think that we need a relief valve for small
operators who get stuck in a place where they can not reasonably go to
their upstream for any number of potential reasons and can not justify
a /20 (even over the given period).
