Then don't use the word "suspended," perhaps "labeled" (or "marked," 
or "noted as unresponsive").  Suspended has connotes restrictions are 
put in place.  ("Suspended license.")

Or registrant...what ever is appropriate.  The term "offender" made 
me go back and look for the definition of the offense.

The context of my comment is that the policy states:

# If a third party submits reports of the inability to make contact
# that are subsequently disproven, ARIN may choose to ignore
# reports from specific companies, people, e-mail addresses, or
# any other classification means as appropriate.

If ARIN does not respond to the party reporting, what does it matter 
if ARIN (staff?) chooses to ignore a reporting party that is known 
for "crying wolf?"

I.e., I am questioning the need for the quoted paragraph.

At what point is it too late?  I asked about adding IRIS in this 
message a month ago:
