OK, brainstorming more here..  

How about if:

1. IP holder "A" decides it wants to relinquish some IP's and would like
some remuneration..  holder "A"  contacts ARIN with a Letter of Intent and
commits to relinquish the block with ARIN acting as Escrow Agent for funds.

2. [ARIN publicly publishes the offer of an anonymous NetBlock of size /xx,
aggregating if possible..  
{or}
ARIN matches requestors to offerers and skip to step 4 ]

3. Entity "B" decides it wants IP's and makes an offer to ARIN committing to
pay some years (3 to ten?) of registration fees for the first year
registration of the block if awarded.  At this time Entity "B" goes through
the process to be pre-qualified per current policy for the size of block it
is requesting.

4. ARIN then proxies the anonymized offer to holder "A" and if accepted
brokers the transaction collecting a small fee from both parties to cover
expenses.

5. The excess fees collected from "B" are transmitted to "A" or held in
account on "A"'s behalf.
