They could have chosen to gett that initial space from ARIN, but opted for provider assigned space instead for whatever reason. In any case, they have space already and are either looking to expand or are looking to replace that provider assigned space. In the former case, they are on the same playing field as anyone looking to expand today. In the latter case, they have the advantage of being able to continue using their provider assigned space while waiting, so any disadvantage they may face is rather limited and is the result of their own past decisions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Owen</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Dec 16, 2020, at 2:17 PM, Amy Potter <<a href="mailto:amybpotter@gmail.com" class="">amybpotter@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Hello ppml community!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I just wanted to recirculate Draft Policy ARIN 2020-10 for feedback. This draft policy would remove the requirement that ISPs that already hold reallocations or reassignments from upstream providers satisfy ARIN's efficient utilization requirements for those reallocations/reassignments before they are able to qualify for their initial allocation of space directly from ARIN, and get on the waitlist to receive that space. <br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Under current policy a new ISP that does not have any reallocations or reassignments qualifies for a /24 without having to establish efficient utilization of any previous space.
