This may not be possible, but we will see what statistics are available</div>
<div class="">regarding transfers not completed (the reason that “specifically where</div>
<div class="">need not met” may not be meaningful is because such requests often</div>
<div class="">close due to prolonged lack of response while awaiting documentation</div>
<div class="">or because they’re closed by the original requester but not otherwise </div>
<div class="">distinguished, etc.)</div>

<div class="">Unfortunately, we do not have any readily-available way to correlate the</div>
<div class="">not-completed tickets with intended block size. We do have overall </div>
<div class="">transfer ticket closure statistics available.</div>

<div>153 8.3 tickets closed<br class="">
106 completed (69%)<br class="">

<div class="">If one presumes that demonstration of need is a more significant concern</div>
<div class="">for 8.3 transfers (generalization, but plausible) _and_ that there was no </div>
<div class="">other significant factor (lots of hand-waving at this point), then there is a </div>
