Talk to you company lawyer about what you legally can and can not do.
Even common carriers have a lot of leeway writing their tariffs.  Yes,
tariff writing is a business decision.  Common carriers write the darndest
things in their tariffs.  And even more amazing, if you had a smart
lawyer write the right things, you can get a court to enforce those
darndest things too.

Personally, I would be happy if the IETF-RUN group put out a document
on the right and wrong way to complain.  Spamming your complaint about
spam is a bit hippocritical.
