The original message in this thread, as worded, effectively puts the RIRs
into the position of being the Internet Police against spam.  To avoid
this particular confusion (and something which the RIRs will _not_ take
on, as it is not a function defined in RFC2050), the original proposal
needs restating with clearer language, and preferably without Punishment
Extreme(tm) (removal of resources after 5 days with bad information?
sheesh)
