Then formulation of this Code of Practice, the timeframe limits for responses and 
activity, and setting up the infrastructure for review and ratify the decision to 
disconnect that can act in a timely manner will be a very interesting process!
Taking an entire ISP, and their other  units/tens/hundreds of thousands of customers 
off the air because they failed to adequately rate-limit Aunty Mavis's compromised PVR 
is not a decision I'd want to see in the hands of a random NBNCo or CERT NOC operator 
(without meaning any disrespect to all the NOC operators on the list) :-)
