ARIN has been thinking about this sort of problem for years. Their solution is an interesting one - members have to regularly vote to remain members. If they don't, they fall back to being "ordinary" registrants and have a process with a waiting period that they have to go through to become members and vote again. It's not yet tested but in theory, the result is that it's too much work with too long a lead time to successfully buy a vote from more than a few people vulnerable to selling their vote.
