IMHO, that is unfortunate.  My intent (I can't speak for Owen's) behind
2007-14 was that ARIN would actively seek out unused/abandoned resources
for reclamation.  The policy did not _force_ ARIN to do so because I
believed you would proceed as quickly as ARIN's staffing and finances
allowed.  It appears I was wrong, and I'll look at submitting a proposal
to "correct" this problem in the next cycle; hopefully it won't be too
late to matter.

POC invalidation should be an input (one of many) into the selection of
targets for an active review program, not merely something that is just
marked in the database and promptly forgotten.  If an org doesn't
respond to validation requests, odds are they won't respond to review
requests either and reclamation will be nearly automatic (after an
appropriate time-out period, of course).
