Well, In my point of view this makes about the same sense as if we'd take the decision to start up something like a new standard for inter-ISP-communications (ever thought about IPv7, maybe IPv7.25?) - for switzerland only.
This would just move the source of the problem to another point - but would not help solve the problem: SPAM.
Sorry, but the internet is a medium almost without any fences and doors. The whitelist would be enhanced soon by entries for german ISPs who are partners of swiss ISPs, soon then there will be all german ISPs in (and the french, and the italian, and so on).
At the end we would have a 4-TB Oracle Database with the IPs of any ISPs mail server system - just for a whitelist... hmmm. Why don't we start up a second RIPE? Sponsors?
The swinog mailinglist has a whitelist already - and if you're trying to reach someone participating you already have two ways of how to get in touch with who you want to contact: direct mail or via list.

Hello,
Given the fact that there are many ISPs who volontarily provide IP's for Spamming purposes this won't work. Given the fact that there are ISPs like T-Online, where SPAM IS a problem, this might fail.
Sorry, but I don't think that this would work at all...

What about a "whitelist" website, every ISP could enter the IPs of his
MTA's
and everybody could use for his whitelisting?
