where do you send the bill? For some even large organizations I've
seen bills get shuffled to random places that didn't deal with 'bills'
and then get dropped. Not everyone at these places understands what an
'ip address' or 'number resource' or 'ARIN' is... or what those things
mean to the 'business'.

This really isn't a simple thing, it's really not something that ARIN
can go cowboy up and  fix. (not for lack of trying over the years of
course)

Very simple, just do it.


This isn't nike...

I'm sorry for being obtuse, but they (arin) can't really do anything.
I suspect that if they had to prosecute all folks in violation of the
RSA they would have financial issues... and it wouldn't really solve
anything long term anyway.

In short, ARIN can't affect routability
            ARIN can't effectively deal with the contract issues in a
timely fashion

So.. what are they going to 'just do'?

It's means one of two things:


sure, but 'how' exactly?

1) Recoup the unused space for paid reallocation
or

arin never (nor do any RIR) guarantee routability, nor do they even a
method to affect routability of a network.

2) Have the current "owner" pay the market rate for the IP space


... that's somewhat hard since the current policies don't support
that, and there is no real legal stance for legacy-allocations... For
allocated post-legacy-times ARIN can start court proceedings, but ...
that's a lengthy process and expensive.

Is ARIN, who won't even take back large blocks of space from

have
long ago stopped using it and aren't paying anything for it,
prepared
to
start filing civil suits against people who were assigned /24's
(and
paid
for them) due to inaccurate declaration?

out of curiousity.. 'take back' means what in this context?
