John,

       Thank you for the clarification.    Question is, the condition
that exists today (as was outlined as the rational in the policy
proposal) an administrative oversight (since the policy clearly stated
the ISP minimum Block Size), or a disconnection in policy management ?
   If it's the first, it should be able to be resolved outside of the
PDP process, if the later, then this proposal serves to resolve it.

I'm personally going to wait on this part of the discussion until we
sort out the disconnect.

thanks,
