I'm sure the address holder is - but the question was, is the person who
submitted the report also involved?  That may NOT be an address holder 
it may just be a guy out on the street there who happens to stumble
across something.

But, is the person who filed the report informed of any action?  Or do 
they just have to keep looking at the summary reports and trying to 
guess if their complaint was acted on or not?

The summary reports do not serve as adequate examples.  Here are some
recent selections:

20100721-F639 ISP assigning IPv4 space without justification Section 12 
audit conducted

So, what happened?  What were the audit results?  Was the ISP doing this
or not?

20100814-F655 Report that 2 orgs are assigning IP addresses without 
justification Section 12 audits conducted on both

Results????

I also would love a bit more detail on this one:

20100819-F657 Report of spam emanating from org’s /15 Investigated, 
found justification meets ARIN policy requirements.

If that was snowshoe spamming and it fits in the NRPM then we definitely
need to modify the NRPM.
