Let me add some additional clarity - ARIN has indeed been diligent in our enforcement of the SWIP provisions in NRPM section 4.2.3.7, but (as noted by others) that has been done at the time of allocation of additional number resources to ISPs. What ARIN has not done is proactively engaged in review and enforcement these provisions absent clear direction from the community that such is desired. If the community feels that ARIN should enforce these provisions on an on-going basis, then we will make that happen, including revocation and reissuance of number resources if such is specified. I have no doubt about ARIN’s ability to do so for all number resources in the ARIN registry, given clear policy from the community which requires such on-going enforcement. (I am in no manner advocating for such a policy change, simply making clear that the ongoing enforcement concerns are a matter of policy clarity rather than any imagined lack of ability to execute.)
