I can assure you that based on my own experiences in very large companies that I'd have few issues complying with this new requirement. I like the idea and honestly, ARIN is damned if they do (see this pretty inane thread) and damned if they don't (wait until RIR exhaustion 'day' comes and goes and watch the conspiracy theories as to why ARIN didn't 'do more').

Mr Curran, given the response you've seen from the group, and in particular the argument that most CEO's or Officers of firms will simply sign off on what they IT staff tells them (as they have little to no understanding of the situation),
You really should go ask a CEO if he'd sign off on something that he doesn't understand. Really. I can assure you that your impression is wrong, and most CEOs don't prefer to be standing in court defending their actions.
can you explain what exactly you are hoping to achieve by heaping on yet an additional requirement to the already over burdensome process of receiving an IPv4 allocation?
Burdensome? Really? If you have your documentation together it takes about 15 minutes from beginning of the application form until receiving your new allocation. I spend longer on hold any time I deal with any other vendor.
