<div>If that is a desired policy goal, then one possible way such a result could be achieved by the explicit definition of the term “operational need” and then referencing that term in the waiting list policy. In this manner, generalization of LIR would not
create ambiguities in application of waiting list issuance. </div>

<div>(I am certain there are many other ways to accomplish such a result, but provide the above as one possible approach in order to be responsive to your query and further discussion your policy goal. Also note that parties purchasing rights to IP address
blocks via specified transfers (NRPM 8.3 and 8.4) must per NRPM 8.5 have “operational use” – i.e. any transfers of number resources must be solely for the purpose of use on an operational network – and so doing an overall definition of that term instead and
adjusting references is also a possible if that aligns with your policy goal.) </div>
