If anything, there's more of a disincentive than ever before for ARIN to spend time on netblock sanitization.
This whole thread seems to be about shifting (I.E. by externalizing) the costs of remediation. presumably the entities responsible for the poor reputation aren't likely to pay... So heck, why not ARIN? perhaps because it's absurd on the face of it? how much do my fees go up in order to indemnify ARIN against the cost of a possible future cleanup? how many more staff do they need? Do I have to buy prefix reputation insurance as contingent requirement for a new direct assignm
Perhaps ICANN could require registries establish a clearing-house, where at no cost, those assigned a network would register their intent to initiate bulk traffic, such as email, from specific addresses. Such a use registry would make dealing with compromised systems more tractable.
If they would just comply with RFC 3514, such a registry would be unnecessary.
This registry would also supplant the guesswork involved with divining meaning of reverse DNS labels.
We could standardize a string to be used in rDNS of dynamic pools, if you want. Lee
