The policy on allocations was changed, however the organizations did everything by the book per previous policy. The organization is now told that they have to go through the process again and wait longer. This has nothing to do with potential space allocation. I am all for limiting the allocation amount in the future. However, to penalize an organization that has followed the process to this point is unfair. This also is no guarantee that these organizations will receive an allocation. More likely, they'll continue to wait.<o:p class=""></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border-style: none none none solid; border-left-width: 1pt; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 0in 0in 0in 6pt; margin-left: 4.8pt; margin-right: 0in;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">This draft policy is simply to not penalize organizations that went through the proper process of what was approved policy at the time.
