There's a big difference between signing that the books are right (it matters!) and filling out paperwork for ARIN. The first is one of his primary duties as an officer of the company, the second won't even make his secretary's "to do" list.
It appears that ARIN wants to raise the IP addressing space issue to the CxO level -- if it was interested in honesty, ARIN would have required a notarized statement by the person submitting the request.
No. Those are two entirely different problems. A notary signs only that the person in front of them has been checked to be who they say they are. That's authentication. A Notary cannot attest that what is on the document is valid. A CxO signing that the request is valid is Authorization to speak for the company. Different spectrum. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
