Hi David, I get that. I disagree with the goal. To my thinking, the most useful purpose of POC validation is verifying that service providers are maintaining accurate public records like they agreed to as a condition of getting cheap large blocks of IP addresses. To achieve that goal, they have to contact the folks identified as receiving reassignments. Expliciting checking the direct POCs is of more limited value. ARIN will either have a reachable billing POC or will soon be reclaiming addresses. If one non-technical POC is accurate, odds are the org's other POCs are usable too.
