Not even the Italians managed to assemble a mafia so perfect and so efficient and untouchable.

Remember everything you do to limit bad actors also creates burdens on the good actors too, so this is always a balancing act. I not saying good actors should have no burdens, but this is a risk management exercise. The level of the burden we put on good actors needs to be commensurate with the risk bad actors represent to ARIN's mission. </div><div><br></div><div>ARIN could probably greatly limit abuse by requiring proof of 5-year active credit history or $10,000 surety bond for all new organizations doing business with ARIN. But that would create a significant burden for many legitimate organizations starting out.
