One thing that has been asserted a number of times in this thread is
that ARIN has increased the level of scrutiny on requests during the
time leading up to, and/or shortly after, IANA runout.  (Presumably the
trigger for any such increased scrutiny being the anticipated decrease
availability of addresses, but my question is independent of the
motivation.)

Can you comment on whether or not this is the case.  That is, in the
time leading up to IANA runout, or shortly after that, did ARIN start
scrutinizing provided documentation in more detail, or did ARIN start
asking for more detail?  (I'm talking about a general case decision to
increase scrutiny in the time frame in question.  I'm sure ARIN refines
and has been refining its procedures over time as it learns what does
and does not work, and I'm sure individual requests get a customized
level of scrutiny as they are evaluated ... that would distinct from
what I'm asking about.)

Assume for the purposes of this question that the change to a three
month allocation period and the officer attestation policy do not
constitute increased scrutiny.
