And any whois inquiries get referred to their ISP. Then the two companies
can work out their own solution without ARIN involvement. The ISP might
charge a premium rate for handling net abuse inquiries and the customer
might want to save money and do it themselves with their underworked 
staff.

I didn't want this policy to deal with issues of teeth. If ARIN were to
adopt some enforcement measures against the organizations that deal
directly with ARIN, then this policy could easily be updated.
