[apnic-talk] a proposal agendum for policy SIG at Korea

[MAEMURA Akinori <maem@maem.org>]

Folks,

  I submitted a proposal agendum for policy SIG at APRICOT
2000, and it has been approved.  The abstruct is below.

  The Private Information Issue is getting more serious 
these days.  For the people who are personally connected to 
the Internet with some IP addresses, whose contact info 
including postal addresses or phone numbers are exhibited at 
WHOIS database, the issue is quite serious.

  I'd like to have some discussions at the policy SIG and
try to seek the solutions, I mean, the good trade-offs 
between private info protection and leaf site info
availability for network ops.


  Please feel easy to make comment for questions for this, 
at this mailing list.

Thank you in advance.

Title: 		Handling of Personal Information on the APNIC Database
Applicant:	MAEMURA Akinori, IP working group, JPNIC

Circumstances: 
  Since the dedicated line service got cheaper than it used to be,  
personal sites connected to the Internet by dedicated lines are
increasing these days.

  It is regulated that all the IP address assignments are registered
onto APNIC database with the postal addresses and the phone numbers of
their points-of-contact(POCs).  Consequently it leads out the private 
information of the administrators of the personal sites to the public.
Therefore it might be the problem of the abuse of private information,
say the Issues of Private Information.


Proposal:
  One of the measure to solve this problem is to register their ISP's
POCs as POCs of the sites.  This measure needs ISPs' recognitions and
corporation.  Anyway I'd like to discuss this issue at the policy SIG
to provide some principles on the protection of private information to
APNIC.
