I want to make sure I understand the question.

Right now, if I'm org ABC with 10.128.0.0/16, I can reallocate
10.128.1.0/24 to org XYZ and that's simply accepted: XYZ shows up as
the registrant for 10.128.1.0/24, whether or not they actually control
10.128.1.0/24. ABC then goes on to send lots of spam from
10.128.1.0/24 while XYZ gets all the complaints.

The suggested change would allow org XYZ to "lock" their org so that
ABC cannot reallocate addresses to them.

Is that correct?

Thanks,
Bill Herrin
