I think its more accurate to state:

“What a CUSTOMER wants to avoid is a pledge joining a network where the MASA 
just does the logging and does no validation, without any other means to 
determine that the device is on the correct network.” E.g. I plug in a wi-fi 
device and it connects to the SSID of the company on the floor below me.

The MASA cannot help with this unless there is complex sales channel 
integration and the MASA explicitly knows in advance exactly what network each 
pledge will be connecting to. A potential option is to also require the 
registrar to provide some proof of ownership to the MASA in the VoucherRequest.

The problem is that the manufacturer doesn't have enough context to make 
decisions as to which network to join.  That is the challenge.

I don't understand how the "manufacturer" can have a desire ("the pledge

avoid joining a network ...") that is different from the MASA's desire.



The MASA *is* the expression manufacturer's desire.

If the manufacturer has sales channel information that indicates the Pledge

is on the wrong network, it should not issue a voucher.



So the situation you describe makes no sense to me.
