I am, however, interested in what policy changes you believe it will take to get ARIN to accurately reflect reality in its registry database. What's it going to take?

Not sure how you figure that…

ARIN Community: Anyone with an email address who wishes to participate.
Resource Holders: Anyone with an object registered in the ARIN database.

While it is true that the latter is a larger group, in reality, the poll would effectively involve only the “Resource holders who choose to participate”, which I would argue is a subset of “those with an email address who wish to participate”.
