[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2017-12: Require POC Validation Upon Reassignment

I think anyone who supplies someone else's email address to a third
party without their permission is responsible for any mail they
receive. Unless a SWIPer has permission from their customer to SWIP the
customer's email address, the ISP doing the SWIPing is responsible, not
ARIN. If they do this repeatedly or as a matter of course, they should
be barred from SWIPing and any subnets they have previously SWIPed
should revert to them, making them responsible for all network abuse and
connectivity problems originating from those subnets.
Isn't the entire point of SWIP to allow ISPs to offload the abuse and
other points of contact to their customers, who presumably are more
capable of dealing with the issues? And shouldn't the customers expect
to receive email at those POC addresses as part of that? Either the ISP
has explained that to their customers, who have agreed to this, in which
case no mail sent to them as a consequence is SPAM, or the ISP has not,
in which case the POC (and SWIP) should be removed or never allowed in
the first place.
