Not speaking officially for the ARIN AC, but I'll point out that legitimizing the leasing market in policy by way of Draft Policy ARIN-2019-18: LIR/ISP Re-Assignment to Non-Connected Networks (https://www.arin.net/vault/policy/proposals/2019_18.html) was largely opposed by the ARIN community (Sept 2019 PPML thread https://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2019-September/067362.html Oct 2019 PPML thread https://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2019-October/067388.html ARIN44 meeting session https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXyZkeaBf5Q) and abandoned by the AC.
However a policy respesenting the converse, explictly calling it out as prohibited, has not been put forward by the community. If anyone is interested in developing such a policy, please feel free to either - submit yourself per the Policy Development Process (https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/ and specifically template https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/appendix_b/). - engage me via jzp-ari...@rsuc.gweep.net (or another Advisory Council member https://www.arin.net/about/welcome/ac/) and we can help you shape up a proposal.
