I'm quite sure that is not the intent also. I know for a fact that Jordi
and Carlos are really trying to help this situation. However, in my
opinion, the effect is "it puts anyone who operates a router in jeopardy of
losing their Internet resources, for possibly something as innocent as
making a typo in their router config."

I disagree, I don't see enough, for instance, what is the standard of
evidence needed for a finding; "beyond a reasonable doubt", "preponderance
of the evidence", or something else?

Maybe it can be distinguished, but how much time has to laps with you
ignoring ARIN before ARIN takes away your resources? An hour, a day, a
week, a month, 90 days?

Furthermore, the proposal is much more a process than it is a policy.
