I would absolutely support a change in this policy. I agree it is currently highly unfavorable to those with multiple allocations. I know because I have quite a few allocations, and trying to get them all up to 80% utilization is like tacking jello to the wall. Not a fun exercise. You have my +1.

All,
I put in a IPv4 request today and received this reply:

Message:Hello Jeffrey,
Thank you for the reply. We don't aggregate your holdings to come up
with a utilization percent. Each individual block must be efficiently
utilized. That's how policy is written, and that's how ARIN's operated
since our inception. 2% of a /21 isn't a lot, you're right, but policy
is policy, and it says 80%, so it's best if we don't make exceptions
and hold everyone to the same rule, dont you agree?
-- snip --
We hold 2 x /21 and it seems that 78% + 92% = 85% aggregate
utilization is not sufficient under current policy. I do not believe
it is equitable that we're ineligible to request resources because our
space is deaggregated where a network operator with contiguous /20
would be eligible.
Would anyone else be in favor of amending this?
