I am highly confused now.

<div> Are you referring to assignments or transfers? The above discussion</div>
<div> appears to mix requests of both types.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div> ARIN does check that end-user _assignment_ requests meet the</div>
<div> 25% immediate utilization requirement (as called for in the end-user </div>
<div> assignment policy.)</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div> ARIN does not have clear guidance how the assignment criteria for</div>
<div> 25% immediate use is to be applied to transfers. ARIN can apply the </div>
<div> criteria with respect to transfer requests, but that would require some </div>
<div> additional policy clarity from the community to do so. </div>

The policy change will not materially affected transfer requests, as noted</div>
<div> above. The change would effect processing of any end-user assignments</div>
<div> requests. (It is probably worth noting that end-users who presently qualify</div>
<div> for assignment of an IPv4 block are being added to a waiting list with a </div>
<div> rather low probability of timely fulfillment.)</div>
