The same way that Auto Insurance companies can revoke your license in California. They simply revoke you insurance policy after you gather 3 point agaisnt you driving record. According to CA-DMV, you license immediately becomes suspended for lack of insurance. Notice that the legal suspension limit is more than 6 points. However, the over-arching requirement is liability insurance. Thus, placing the control with the insurance companies (hell, I never said I *liked* living here).
ARIN seems to be operating on a similar principle as the DMV.
I don't recall ARIN ever revoking or suspending addresses. I'd be interested in any examples where ARIN has done this or are you just making assumptions here? Kim Hubbard ARIN
