I agree, though I believe that an organization reassigning space should 
be a mandatory condition. Not that it can be enforced, but it is good 
policy anyways.

The /32 minimum allocations. Though perhaps it's not a big deal, as 
spammers will either lie or utilize IPv4 status to get the /32 anyways. 
My thought is not so much about the fact that people will game the 
system or that it won't be enforced, but that it is just good policy to 
define an ISP as what it is, not to arbitrarily categorize an 
organization which does BGP as an ISP.
