<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this proposal gains traction and 2014-13 is adopted, the AC and the community can make the necessary adjustments to it in light of 2014-13 if 2014-13 is adopted.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Changing 2014-13 so substantially at this time would only serve to delay its potential implementation without actually benefiting this proposal. If such a range is desired to go with this proposal, the necessary changes can be added to
this proposal without significant difficulty.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I fail to see the logic in establishing a "minimum range". A minimum is just that... A minimum. Anything larger than the minimum is not the minimum, so a minimum range is a minimum and some other numbers that happen to be larger than the
minimum.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even if 2014-13 were somehow modified and we were able to work past the lexical cognitive dissonance inherent in the idea of a "minimum range", I don't see how this proposal would work without significant modification to deal with the issue
of how a request is mapped to a particular "minimum" within the "minimum range" that applies by as yet unspecified criteria.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps if you could clarify how you see this idea of a "minimum range" working and how it could actually be implemented or what it is you hope having such a thing would provide that the existing policy and/or 2014-13 does not provide,
it would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>

accept this or not but 2014-13 complicates this proposal. That is part of the reason why I suggested changing 2014-13 to specify a range rather than a fixed allocation. I would be fine with having this proposal included with 2014-13 if the AC though that
made sense. Otherwise it can remain separate. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
