The devil is in the details… What punitive rules do you see ARIN being able to enact that would have
any real effect? How do you see those rules being enforced? Who would those rules be enforced on?

Consider the typical situation:

Organization A has an RSA with ARIN and is registered with resource X.
Organization C has an RSA with another RIR and is registered with resource Y.
Organization Q has no RSA with any RIR and advertises space X to Organization C.
	Organization Q presented Organization C with a fraudulent LOA from Organization A.

Please explain what punitive rules ARIN could enact in this case.
Please explain who ARIN would inflict what penalties on and how that would cause
	organization Q to stop?
Please explain how ARIN becomes aware that Q’s LOA from A is forged?

Please provide a detailed suggestion or at least enough of a blueprint that it can lead
to actionable policy.

Sure we can question how effective it will be, but anything will be more effective than nothing, and by actually doing, failing and learning, ARIN will only improve and refine the process. We will all learn from this.
