That sounds excellent. > One of the concerns with option 2 was the way Section 6 swaps back and forth > between the three resource types. > Agreed. > So I present Option 5 structure below.

FWIW, I think this is merely a coincidence, but it is rather convenient that in the ARIN NRPM, IPv4 policy is in section 4 and IPv6 policy is in section 6. IIRC, Section 5 is ASN policy. It would certainly be helpful to some of us who work with multiple policy frameworks if an effort to harmonize section ordering and numbering to the extent possible were made.
