I have to disagree, the implementation of 2019-16 was fair and impartial.
There was a general criterion that was applied, it wasn't overly specific,
such that it only targeted a single or small group of specific
organizations. Yes, the selection of /20 was mostly arbitrary, but any
number picked would have been mostly arbitrary. The /18 that this policy
proposes is mostly arbitrary as well. The specific numbers are a judgment
call, both in 2019-16 and this policy. Nevertheless, innocent organizations
were impacted by the implementation of 2019-16, and that is regrettable,
unfortunate, and frankly, it sucks, but that doesn't me it was unfair.

Further, the alternative implementation, that you propose would have been
unfair because the organizations with a /20 or less of total holdings, but
requesting more than a /22, would qualify under the policy in 2019-16 if
they simply reduced their request. Therefore, requiring them to be removed
from the waiting list and to reapply would have been unnecessarily
bureaucratic and petty, with the only effect being that they lost their
place on the waiting list. Allowing these entities to reduce their request
seems an eminently fair way do deal with that situation.

Personally, I like and support the concept of mitigating at least some of
the impact on innocent organizations by allowing those with up to and
including a /18 of total holdings back on the list for up to a /22. I'll
note that this specific idea didn't come up during the discussions leading
up to 2019-16 or immediately following the implementation of it.  However,
while I support mitigating the effects of 2019-16 on several innocent
organizations, I most strenuously object to referring to the implementation
of 2019-16 as unfair. The implementation of 2019-16 was both fair and
impartial, even though the impact on some organizations was undesirable, it
was nevertheless fair.

Thanks.
