Another suitable rewrite might replace those two sentences with:

"An individual shall not have the authority to retain, sell, transfer,
assign, or give the number resource to any other person or
organization solely because he is listed as the point of contact for
an otherwise defunct organization, nor shall the organization cede
such authority to said individual except as is consistent with these
transfer policies."
