In your example, only when an RIR is considered to have exhausted
its address space will it be considered to be eligible for the
/19. So if an RIR doesn't need the space, they won't get it.
As per above, those who are profligate and have no run-out policy stand
to benefit at the expense of the others.
How long do you expect your carve out to last? And if another RIR is out of
space they have need. I'm not sure that this is truly a critical concern.

We authors do not intend to interfere with intra-RIR transfer
policies that cover all address space prior to the IANA
exhaustion. The transfer restriction is applied only to
IANA-reallocated addresses covered by this policy proposal.
But banning transfers of the addresses covered by this policy proposal
does interfere with intra-RIR transfer policies.
But they're not banned as I had pointed out in another post. There's a knob
that RIR's can opt to turn on to allow them without having to rework the
global policy. The fact that we included the option to do a globally
coordinated policy as well as an ICANN ASO global policy should speak
volumes as to the suggestion.
