Bill -

 Voluntary termination because ARIN is in breach results in pre-contract 
 status quo, otherwise you are correct.  Changing this would be a useful
 item to discuss at the Public Policy & Members meeting in one of the open 
 mike sessions, or to submit to the suggestion process for discussion on
 the arin-consult mailing list <https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp>

 The last round of improvements to the LRSA (version 2.0) added several 
 circumstances that result in pre-contract status quo, and additional 
 ones could be added if the community wants such and the Board concurs.
