I think this keeps everyone happy.  Thank you for considering public input.

Two things to clarify: how long must a petitioning organization wait after
contacting its upstream provider before contacting ARIN directly?

Can SWIPs be modified by the upstream to change directly from S to A, or is
the upstream required to delete the assignment and then create a new
allocation?
