A good first step, but is this adequate?
What about folks who go so far as to incorporate under the name of a
defunct which has legacy B/C space, register their domains, get POC
and address information changed, and then submit a request to announce
said address space? What recourse does the provider, or IP registry,
have in this situation? Difficult to say "no," as the request looks
legitimate in all regards.
(Yes, it's happening...)
