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