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.
