Hi,
The answer is to have published, objective criteria, consistently applied, with a defined appeal process and accountability.
See the latest allocation policy draft -- it attempts to do that. Comments on the draft would be welcome, see: draft-hubbard-registry-guidelines-00.txt
It's hard to play by the rules if you don't know what they are, and one has only to look at the /14 allocation to @Home to realize that the "slow start" rules do not apply to everyone equally.
The @Home allocation was done outside of normal registry procedures by the IANA directly. InterNIC should not be held responsible for that case. Regards, -drc
