(As a reminder or for those who do not know. Chapter Total had been raised last spring to 225. This is why there was spring Open Recruitment for the first time in years and 5 or 6 chapters took new members.)
Why was this done? Because it is NPC policy that any new (re) colonizing group can bid up to Chapter Average. Therefore it was only fair that the existing chapters get the opportunity to get up their numbers up to Chapter Average as well before that. And for the record, despite last year's increase there was still a fairly large discrepancy in numbers between the smallest and largest chapters.
Meaning, if Chapter Total had not been changed and it was still 225 any existing chapter that was at that, they could not take any more members. It would not be fair to them for DG to come on and be able to pledge up to Chapter Average since it turned out to be so much larger than what Chapter Total was set at.

Can't current groups also bid up to Chapter Average if the local Panhel makes provisions for them to do so? I could have sworn I saw on here that was permissible, but maybe I misread.
