Sorry, I have a bit of a cold so it all made sense to me. "They" were a DOI representative. "We" were a research team working on a grant involving persistent resolvable identifiers. the "sudden jump" would be the difference from how many DOIs they were responsible for resolving (in 2012) without any assigned to us v.s. to how many they would be responsible for if they did what we had asked.
