That's not a lease, in the sense that's of concern. "Downstream" implies
a connection. Let's call that "rent".
ISPs "rent" IP blocks all the time - even for their own customers.
$10/mo for a static IP address instead of a DHCP assigned one - a
practice as old as the hills.
And business-based Internet is almost always a statically assigned CIDR
subnet - for example one client of mine assigns a /29 for free, and
charges an additional $1/ip for larger networks. That's rent. (ya I
know, IANAL and the acronym speaks volumes)
Seems to me the thing that's got everyone tied in a knot is the idea of
allowing someone to lease out a wait-listed network to someone with whom
YOU HAVE NO OTHER BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.
How to define that? Maybe "arm's length".....

What if the registrant issues the addresses to downstream BGP customers?

Fuzzy language. What is leasing? Suggest something more like:
"If announced on the public Internet, address space distributed from
the waitlist shall be announced only by the direct ARIN registrant
until 60 months after receipt."
