I think it is time to start the ball on the other policies.
+1 on this. It seems focused on those gathering resources to resell.

Draft Policy ARIN-2019-1: Clarify Section 4 IPv4 Request Requirements
Problem Statement:
Per a recent ARIN Policy Experience Report and resulting AC discussion, it
was noted that the language of Section 4.1.8 is imprecise in that it can be
interpreted as specifying a waiting period for any allocation activity, as
opposed to being intended to limit only the frequency of IPv4 allocations
under Section 4.
The same Policy Experience Report also noted that ARIN staff has observed a
pattern where an organization transfers space under NRPM Section 8.2 to a
specified recipient, and then immediately applies for space under Section 4.
This activity appears to be speculative in nature and not consistent with
sound address management policy.
The updated language in this proposal addresses the two issues above, as both
concerns can be addressed via modifications to the same section and sentence
thereof of the NRPM:
- Clarifies the waiting period to only prohibit requests for IPv4
allocations under Section 4 of the NRPM
- Disallows organizations that have transferred space to other parties
within the past 12 months from applying for additional IPv4 space under NRPM
Section 4.
Policy Statement:
Current language found in NRPM Section 4.1.8 - Unmet Requests:
Repeated requests, in a manner that would circumvent 4.1.6, are not allowed:
an organization may only receive one allocation, assignment, or transfer
every 3 months, but ARIN, at its sole discretion, may waive this requirement
if the requester can document a change in circumstances since their last
request that could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of the
original request, and which now justifies additional space.
Proposed new language:
Repeated requests, in a manner that would circumvent 4.1.6 are not allowed:
an organization may not apply for IPv4 address resources under this section
if they have received an allocation, assignment, or transfer of IPv4
resources less than three months prior, or if the organization has
transferred space to another party under Section 8 less than 12 months prior.
ARIN, at its sole discretion, may waive this restriction if the requester can
document a change in circumstances since their last request that could not
have been reasonably foreseen at the time of the original request, and which
now justifies additional space.
Comments:
This proposal incorporates two related policy goals, combined for convenience
in one proposal as both can addressed via modification of the same section
and sentence of the NRPM. These policy goals are severable if the community
prefers to address them independently.
