The obvious change RIRs could make would be to make sure the contracts they allocate resources under give them the latitude to cancel those contracts if certain boundaries of behavior are breached.

YES I REALIZE EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

But just as allocation of resources is not a transfer of ownership to the allocatee by the same reasoning cancellation of that allocation for breach of contract is just a withdrawal of said license, not a "taking".

Cool. Then you just have to figure out how to unilaterally withdraw a resource that doesn't have a centralized automated verification system. Taking you out of whois doesn't automatically take you out of people's BGP tables, after all. -Paul
