OK, well, you're entitled to your opinion.

I would argue however that the entirety of Sections 8.2 and 9 of the NPRM
are dedicated to being explicit about who gets what and under what exact
conditions.

Now, if I say to John "ARIN ought to have a policy to make sure organizations
are validly constituted and are who they say they are" then he will say to
me "OK, fine.  That's a policy matter, so propose a policy."  Meanwhile
_you_ will say "That is a mere administrative matter, and doesn't need to be
specified in a policy."

Congratulations!  You seem to have worked out a foolproof two-pronged strategy
for insuring total inaction on anything that doesn't suit your personal tastes.
A really admirable example of Catch 22.
