This is exactly the mechanism on which we (OPTA) recently developed an enforcement strategy; educate hosting ISP's in NL from which we see abuse that is within our enforcement range: spam and malware. If the normal abuse mechanisms do not work the way they should we start to use our LEA capabilities to apply pressure. This has proven to be very effective: lots of cases solved with small efforts. In most cases this pressure moved the ISPs started to gather reports on their own networks and act by themselves.
Of course, we can only do this within our jurisdiction, but it would be nice if other spam/malware legislative bodies start doing this too, or any body that can apply some real pressure.
I think the FICORA approach and environment would be another good example.

Such activities are probably considerably more successful than trying to turn the RIPE NCC into a "Super-NOC" or Incident Coordination HotSpot. Wilfried.
