It might be interesting to float a proposal to tack on a small extra
annual registration fee... say, another 12.5% or something... applicable
to all respouces for which corrections to the contact info have not been
made.

I agree that it would be politically problematic to outright kill someone's
allocations, but making it just a little painful (if they are screwing up)
might be helpful and productive.
