Scott - 

     We haven’t been tracking whether a transfer recipient was previously
     on the waiting list (although it may be in the ticket notes since parties
     on the waiting list already have a determination of the qualified need
     for IPv4 resources); assembly of statistics for that purpose would be 
     a manual process.
  
     We do know how many parties are coming off the waiting list due to 
     resources becoming available - for example, when the IANA issued to 
     ARIN a /15 worth of IPv4 resources from the returned address pool,
     we were able to fulfill six requests pending on the waiting list. [1]  Given
     the size of the list, it is unlikely that parties being added presently will
     ever receive IPv4 resources (at least through the useful life of the IPv4
     protocol.)
