That makes sense, though the cost of investigation could be 
problematic.  I suppose we could have "community investigation" which 
would help gather data about the networks for ARIN to look at.

We do and we also help ISPs navigate through getting their own ASN and 
IP space and understand why they need to do certain things like turning 
in the blocks they were given by their backbone provider once they do 
get an allocation from us or directly from ARIN.
