Reducing the maximum allocation might be acceptable, but I think it’s of questionable merit. Other alternatives introduce complexity and likely unintended consequences and I perceive very little (if any) likely benefit to such an approach. It might be possible to convince me otherwise with some specific approach, but I’d need the detailed policy language to evaluate it.

Yes, they should remain at the front of the queue until their requests are fulfilled and the new policy should not be retroactively applied to them.

> Note that if such a clause is determined for inclusion (#5), it will likely apply to ALL currently on the waitlist as at a specific point in time and they ALL would thus be subject to any such clause in the policy, once adopted.

Noted and a primary reason I am opposed to treating them in any way other than a complete grandfather under the existing terms.

Personally, I think this is a solution in search of a problem and should be abandoned.
