Can?  Sure.  For example, policies could be instituted to encourage or  
require increased efficiency in IPv4 utilization in order to  
implicitly increase the effective cost of obtaining new IPv4 resources  
(as well as prolong the IPv4 free pool lifetime).

However, given the way RIR policy definition works, I don't believe  
there is sufficient time to establish the necessary consensus for any  
policy that would significantly affect the outcome to be instituted.   
As I mentioned to someone privately, the Titanic is too big and moving  
too fast to avoid the iceberg...
