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