I'm confused this seems to conflict with below;

So, some org in the APNIC region and has always received their resources 
from APNIC, but can can't get an IPv4 any more.

They want to get IPv4 from ARIN, do they have to demonstrate that they 
have utilized their APNIC resources according to ARIN policy before 
getting resources from ARIN?

If yes then that violates requirement #2 and seems to violate your 
response above.

But if here you seem to be saying that ARIN should evaluate all their 
global resources.

Deleting everything up to and including the "Otherwise," you are left 
with.

"ARIN must evaluate a request based on an organizations total globally 
registered resources and only according to ARIN policies, including any 
resource specific criteria."

I read this as saying that ARIN should evaluate all resources regardless 
of which RIR issued them.

Is that what you are saying?
