How about creating some organization for which the pre-requisite of membership would be adherence to a charter which outlined some standards and policies for dealing with other ISPs when giving complaints and standards for dealing with complaints received? The membership list could be published and serve as a list of providers worth using, rather than publishing a "bad" list (which, it has already been shown, is problematic).

Several years ago i proposed that CIX membership should require adherence to some rules in regard to "good conduct". I don't know if the proposal was formally considered, though few top CIX people have seen it. In my opinion that this would make membership in CIX something which could figure pominently in ads, and definitely worth membership fees. --vadim
