What I have been saying is that, if ARIN did something so brazen as to revoke Amazon's resources because of some bounced PoC emails, the impact would be *dramatic* and likely lead to the end of ARIN. Just think about this for a minute. :) Obviously this will
not happen because ARIN is so righteously competent. :)</div>

<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>ARIN revokes resources because of other administrative matters (e.g. not paying one’s ARIN fees), and while there is obviously quite a bit of process and notice to avoid this if all possible,
we do indeed revoke and networks go down as a result. <<a href="https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/returns/#revocation" class="">https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/returns/#revocation</a> </div>

in consequences sometimes rather dramatic, and it’s not the registry’s fault nor is there meaningful legal recourse for halfwitted self-inflicted harm…) </div>

notice provisions) and then implement. </div>

community benefit being sought, and from the implications faced as a number resource holder having to comply oneself with the new obligations. </div>
