No, your own allocations are not counted.
Why not? If I have a large infrastructure, or is in the start-up phase or going through a network merger etc. I might have a lot of internal infrastructure but not many customer allocations. I fail to see why we would not include own allocations as those will be coming out of your block anyway.
Because the original text required that the assignments are made to the *other* organizations. By all logic, only the assignments to the others should count. In any case, your own infrastructure shouldn't take more than a /48 or something like that, so it wouldn't be useful to count it either: 199 or 200 makes no difference -- this would become bad if you could just assign e.g. /38 to your own infrastructure and state you've already assigned worth of 200 /48's. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
