Yes, but recall that colonization considerations are being made to the RFM calculations. And recall that the not insubstantial number of grade risks are in that number too. I'm trying to get it an idea of the % of grade risks, because after that is where we can begin to say quota might look like X.

I didn't want to complicate matters, but should have said so.

By the way, I really want to thank all of you who have kept GC going and relevant. I relied heavily on what I read here when both sons went through, particularly the first. I graduated from AL in a house that is also at OM, but things are so different than in my day. Your information/education/encouragement is so appreciated. My only girl is going through this year, so here I am again, round 3, relying on your advice and good common sense. Good job, and y'all can clearly see from the numbers of "reads" that you are a valuable resource!

You can fuss at me if you want, but fuss at MP too (see above). Plus, my comment was clearly hypothetical. To think that PH would bring a new colony in expressly because our system is too big, and then to also think that there is zero chance that they would make any adjustments to quota even in light of a growing PNM pool, is naïve.

No, you and MP are saying two different things.

Quota doesn't get lowered because of the colonization. However, under RFM, there is an assumed PNM drop-out rate that figures into the calculations. In a year that there is a colony, it's assumed that more PNM's will drop out than in a year without a colony.
