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

[MAEMURA Akinori <maem@maem.org>]

Jeff,

  Thank you for your comment.

  My idea is, 

 o	Personal postal address and phone# have to be kept
	at IRs.  IRs need to identify the user of the 
	Internet resource.

 o	But they must not be exhibited.  What to exhibit is
	the name and some degree of ID info, for example 
	what city he/she lives to tell me out of many 
	MAEMURA Akinori's :-) all around the world or 
	something.  ( even though I've never seen another 
	MAEMURA Akinori)


 o	For operational POC, upsteam ISP seems to be 
	appropriate


  Your idea of working phone number, of course may make
sense.  But I think abuse phone to the work firm may bother
him/her enough.


:| Maemura and all,
:| 
:|   Good discussion to get under way here.  Glad you brought it up.
:| 
:|   At present not all IP addresses are listed in a centralized "Whose"
:| database.  This needs to be corrected soon.
:| 
:|   Personal information should NOT be listed in the WHOIS
:| for IP addresses.  I would suggest that following as sufficient.
:| 
:| Name
:| E-mail contact address
:| and working phone number
:| 
:|   Postal addresses should NOT be listed.
