This is not an appropriate goal for ARIN policy. I will vote against any
policy that attempts to PUNISH or FORCE organizations to do something or
other.

    "forces ISP's into the realization" 

...really talks about educating not punishing.  Though a dash of cold 
water in the face like this may blur the edges.
