I do not agree that there is a "requirement" for a transfer market to be possible. I strongly disagree that it is in any way part of the ARIN charter to manipulate rules to benefit a profit motivated transfer market.
I could care less about someone making a profit or NOT on the transfer market. What I do care about is that without it there is no motivation for organizations to free up unused or under-utilized resources. Freeing up resources is frequently not a zero cost operation, and if in some cases it is, so what. For ARIN to reclaim resources from organizations, the only real alternative to a transfer market, is most definitely not a zero cost operation, and that cost would be born by the whole community.
Once the ARIN free pool is exhausted, the transfer market is what we have, ensuring at least minimal functionality is something we need to worry about. Should the functioning of the transfer market be first over everything else, probably not, but I it has to be a consideration.
