With that wording, I would read that as "once you hold a resource, you
are then assigned an Org ID".

Is that actually the case or are Org ID's
assigned before resources are?

(JS) OrgIDs are assigned to an organization wishing to request and received 
Internet Number Resources (INR)s from ARIN.

I would want to be careful about the
policy potentially creating a race condition such as for new requestors.

(JS) This would not happen as OrgIDs are explicitly detailed here:

https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/account/records/org/

The description on that webpage “An Organization ID (Org ID) represents a 
business, nonprofit corporation, or government entity in the ARIN database.” 
would work as well.

Likewise, do all Org ID's have resources, or are there Org ID's that do
not?

(JS) There are OrgIDs that do not have resources at times due to several 
reasons. Examples would be waiting for their first request to be approved, 
transferring all resources to another OrgID, and returning all resources to 
ARIN.

Are these records purged once the resources are no longer held?

Yes, Orphaned OrgIDs, as well as Orphaned POCs, are deleted two years after 
being identified as no longer holding INRs. For mor information see:
