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)
