Hi Bill, The 25% text applies not only to initial assignments, but to: - additional assignments - transfers - criteria used by ISPs to determine justification for downstream assignments
In the antiseptic world of "ARIN to new end-user getting first assignment", the 25% makes sense. In the other cases, which seem much more relevant in 2015 than the antiseptic case, the 25% doesn't make sense, and in many cases, cannot be met.
