Such a policy would not fight the initial point of discussion that there are single entities requesting multiple times, or using individual legal entities. After all, Rick's IP hoarding business A BV and Rick's IP hoarding business B BV are separate legal entities, thus in your proposal being put in front of a single entity that has two requests under the same legal entity. Such policy, I think, would only push for incorporating multiple entities for the sole purpose of pushing ahead in the queue. (e.g. just look at "Network Space Provider <no.> LTD" in the British company register). All are/were held by a single UBO.
Perhaps it would make sense to record UBOs (ultimate beneficial owners), and categorize the waiting list based on the amount of IPs a UBO has already received, plus limit the amount of memberships unique UBOs can open (albeit: open, with a restriction of being unable to request scarce resources). This should include pre-2012 allocations, given we're at the last stretch. and it would be weird to hand someone holding a /21 a 'final /24' when others are in a more urgent need of holding any IPs.
Of course, any new policy should only be put into effect for newly made allocations, without any retrospective effects.
