IMHO the best tact at this point may well be to submit both ACSP and policy proposals which provide for ARIN to issue resources to individuals as unregistered (by state) sole proprietorships.

While ARIN follows current NRPM by issuing to resources to organizations (and encourages individuals to utilize the sole proprietor option or dba for compliance), a policy change to provide number resource issuance specifically to individuals is certainly something that this community could consider.  The problem statement would appear to be (as you suggest above) something along the lines of:  “Resolve inability of ARIN to issuance IPv4/IPv6/ASN number resources directly to individuals."

Doing so via the policy process would make sure that any germane policy nuances (e.g. issuance to individuals under ISP vs end-user policy, waiting list policy, etc.)  get appropraite consideration when applied to individual resource holders.

(I do not believe that any ACSP is necessary, as Impact to ARIN's existing operational practices and any implications for directly serving individuals are the type of issue that can be explored in the staff and legal review. )
