I worry that "wish" is not a policy word. For example I could apply for an Org ID and be denied. However if I state that I still do in fact wish for one, must it be granted? This is of course a bit in jest, but how about something like "An Organization Identifier (Org ID) is a unique text label assigned to entities that have completed the process to participate in the Internet Numbers Registry System via ARIN registry services." Does that correctly capture things? It's a bit more verbose, but maybe someone has a better idea for the word "wish".
