APNIC and NIRs take action on preliminary delegation audit results
________________________________________________________________________
APNIC began planned delegation audits across the APNIC registry and all
NIRs at the end of 2023 as part of its efforts to ensure registry
accuracy.
Those audits commenced with a preliminary investigation into delegations
made by IRINN (Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers) after
APNIC received an anonymous report from a community member. That
investigation uncovered suspicious delegations that have since been
revoked by IRINN.
A preliminary audit of IDNIC (Indonesia Network Information Centre)
delegations identified a number of delegations that shared a variety of
common elements, which require further investigation.
APJII announced today it has appointed a law firm, Romulo Silaen &
Partners, to investigate the legitimacy of these delegations to ensure
policy compliance and any address space obtained outside of policy can
be recovered. IDNIC is a division of APJII, the Association of
Indonesian Internet Service Providers.

APNIC has zero tolerance for the misallocation of resources in its
registry or those of NIRs operating in the region. Trust and accuracy
is critical to the operation of a registry. All number resource
delegations and transfers must be made in strict adherence to
community-developed policies.
It is important to note that APNIC’s identification of delegations that
contain questionable common elements are preliminary findings only. It
should not be assumed that the delegations are fraudulent or that there
has been any improper actions taken by NIR members or registry staff.
Given these findings, APNIC is committing additional resources to assist
in the audits of all NIRs (and APNIC’s own registry) and is taking steps
to strengthen policy compliance to ensure the ongoing integrity of the
registries.
Further information is available in the following announcement:

APNIC will continue to report on the progress of the audits regularly to
ensure the community remains informed.
