If they don't register a POC, then the upstream record needs to have a POC. They also only offer Reassign Simple for REASSIGNMENTS. The REALLOCATION forms require full POCs. - If they do put the information in Whois, then it MUST be accurate, and ARIN should take steps to help verify that the e-mail addresses at least work. POCs for the indirect records still ought to be verified with the same rigor. However, - The POC verification requests should not say to call ARIN RSD. If ARIN is getting too many calls; it's probable b/c of the fact the e-mail they have been using just says to call ARIN if there are any problems. Instead, there should be "self help" options for common issues clearly explained in POC verification messages. The option to call ARIN should not be the first thing advertised. - The annual POC verification e-mail messages should be designed to minimize any confusion. They should avoid using abbreviations such as "WHOIS POC". There should be more explanation of what the message is about, and not just "That there is a POC verification policy". - Just as there is a link to "confirm" the POC record is good, there should be another prominent link near the top to say "This POC record is bad, and stop contacting me" - If the POC says their record is bad, And they don't go back and cancel that (in case of accidental clicking), then their information should be removed from WHOIS pending review. - If No valid POCs remain for a resource, and it's an allocation or assignment that requires a POC, then the resource should be reviewed for deletion/revokation and/or notification to whomever allocated it that they are required to provide correct contact info for the reallocation. -- -JH _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
