Interesting redirect in your document to Va Code § 18.2-152.1-15...
(I think your annotation reference is incorrect though).
In particular, http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-152.12
regarding SPAM which seems to exempt the transiting relay or ISP.
Anyhow, I read through your methodology and see how you
identify an ip address associated with the SPAM (last relay
before delivery to recipient).

That address may be the originator, a friendly supporter of
the originator, a compromised host, an open relay (intentional
or unintentional), etc.  The next step is the difficult part.

We can correlate that address with some allocation or assignment
by an RIR.  What next?

Unfortunately, policy needs to be specific in order to be effective.
I think the best thing to do would be for you to consider under
what conditions do you propose ARIN take action and what actions
should be taken.  You (and anyone else that would like to help
you with this proposal) need to be as specific as possible.

Great step in getting more specific.  Need to define "prolonged
egregious negligence" though and then the associated proposed
actions by ARIN.
