Hello,

(Going perhaps a bit off-topic...)

If people are not able to follow the rules of the registry, maybe they 
shouldn't be allowed inside the system... :-)

[Fact 1]
If someone provides falsified documents to the registry, that someone goes 
off the wagon.

[Fact 2]
If someone doesn't pay the registry in due time (after several warnings), 
that someone goes off the wagon.

the "registry wagon"...>


I would also feel comfortable if someone who indicates a 3rd party e-mail 
address as the abuse-mailbox for their _OWN_ address space, goes off the 
wagon (after some warnings, of course...).
BTW, some years ago our physical address was added in whois to someone 
else's address space in a different RIR and that was _NOT_ a nice 
experience...


Regards,
Carlos
