Which would not be allowed by the proposed policy in either case.

Neither the odd or even /24s from a /8 would be a "single aggregate".

No... The intent is that an org that needed a /14 could only get it as a /14 from one supplier or if they choose to take a /15, they wait some period
of time (possibly a year) before they could get a /15 from another.
