The problem is that some genuine market participants may be unable to afford the market rate, thus stifling potential market entry or innovation.
I am not necessarily against this idea as long as there are appropriate ways to preserve market entry for new entrants without. I am not necessarily saying this needs to be free; however, promoting competitiveness in space should be a factor. What I'd suggest we'd see is continued consolidation of IP resources. Quite frankly, if this model were adopted with no waitlist, it would not be surprising if a venture capital fund came in and just started buying IP space to reduce supply and control the price. If that's what we want as a community, then so be it. *My recommendation is to eliminate IP leasing or transfer entirely for any space obtained from the waitlist.* If customers want a /24 or larger, they go to ARIN, get their own space, and go through the appropriate justification process. The ISP can then announce that IP space on their behalf. If a member is not using their IP space for public routing for a period of time that ARIN should reclaim space in accordance with standard policies.
