Hi Jeff,

I think there may be some confusion. The restriction we are discussing
here is on the _source_ of transfers, not the recipient. What this
requirement actually does is to restrict organizations from "selling"
space which they recently (within the previous 12 months) obtained. It
does NOT stop organizations from receiving more space if they have
need.

HTH,
~Chris
