Hello Ale

I think you should describe how this proposal differs from what is
available nowadays. Wouldn't they already be able to configure verified
effective users for the IP addresses (e.g. with an abuse-c of the
client and another of theirs) ?

They may be unwilling to do so or consider it a hurdle, requiring them
to create new objects and so on, but what makes you believe they would
be willing to use that new system?
