Why wouldn't a LIR get some space on the secondary market to provide to its customers ?
Because: - for a small LIR it's still too expensive (usual quote is 11-13 USD/IP for /22 to /24) - there is some risk of "bad quality IPs" (blacklists, bad reputation, bad and slow-to-update geoloc data) - missing business procedures/confidence (issue of using escrow account does not help)
Some are taking advantages of this situation (open multiple LIR) to get IPv4 space. I don't see how 2015-05 would stop that even if you allow new LIR to get more than a /22. All I can see it more faster depletion (honest LIR getting more + dishonest LIR getting more)
It will not stop dishonest ones. May checking the actual need may slow them down a little bit, but that is not sure either. However, the honest ones will not have to use the same practices that they already consider "cheating".
I hear your arguments but I don't think 2015-05 is the right answer for the community.
