I suppose we could try a global policy that would have to pass in all 5 RIRs requesting IANA and the IETF to allocate 240/4 for Private Use. If that were to actually occur, it seems difficult for the IETF to ignore such a request. While on the other hand, I'm not sure there would be a consensus within the ARIN community, let alone the other RIRs, to do such a thing anyway. Nevertheless, there is no way for ARIN to unilaterally allocate 240/4 for any purpose.
