Every in a while this point comes up and the answer to that is: it is 
everybody's obligation to keep the whois accurate with their own data 
and bind to the current policies. If someone chooses not to do it is at 
their own risk and are subject to applicable sanctions. Organization 
must stick to the current rules. If someone is dissatisfied with the 
rules then there is process for it, in the mean time it's not optional 
to circumvent them.

Bottom line is that a policy should not necessarily pass because some 
organizations don't like it and maybe be trying to find ways to 
circumventing it.

>>> Recommended Draft Policy ARIN-2020-1 (“RDP 2020-1”) clarifies that IPv4 address space distributed from the waitlist will not be eligible for transfer for a period of 60 months with the exception of transfers under section 8.2 of the ARIN Number Resource Policy Manual (“NRPM”). RDP 2020-1 enables fair and impartial number resource administration by eliminating an ambiguity concerning whether NRPM section 8.2 transfers constitute an intended exception to the 60 month hold period under the waitlist policy. RDP 2020-1 is technically sound by fostering clarity and consistency in the application of the waitlist policy, while meeting community needs expressed in section 8.2 of the NRPM, all of which contributes to improved directory accuracy. RDP 2020-1 enjoys community support.
