        could you provide 4 numbers for me please?

        ) % of ARIN managed resource covered by standard RSA?
        ) % of ARIN managed legacy resource covered by legacy RSA?
        ) % of ARIN managed legacy resource not otherwise covered?
        ) % of ARIN region entities (A & B above) that have offices/relationships
          with other RIRs that have a divergent transfer process in place?

        I think your analysis might be true for my first bucket, am less sure it would
        work for the remaining three.
