Michael – Thanks for the feedback.
Can I ask that you submit the proposal, regarding making Whois inaccuracy tickets publicly available, through ARIN’s Consultation and Suggestion Process, https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/acsp.html ? This is the preferred method for non-policy suggestions to ARIN. Regarding the RWhois item you mention, ARIN staff are working with the organization to correct the issue. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Otherwise, the public will not continue to assist ARIN to help clean up this data. For instance: whois 174.96.186.64 NetRange: 174.96.0.0 - 174.111.255.255 CIDR: 174.96.0.0/12 NetName: RRMA NetHandle: NET-174-96-0-0-1 Parent: NET174 (NET-174-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Allocation OriginAS: Organization: Time Warner Cable Internet LLC (RRMA) RegDate: 2009-02-26 Updated: 2009-12-08 Ref: https://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-174-96-0-0-1 ... <SNIPPED FOR BREVITY> OrgAbuseRef: https://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/ABUSE10-ARIN # If you see inaccuracies in the results, please report at # https://www.arin.net/public/whoisinaccuracy/index.xhtml # Found a referral to ipmt.rr.com:4321. connect: Connection refused We are seeing more and more cases of references to 'rwhois' servers that have fallen off line, got broken, forgotten or simply do not exist. Those records of course should be updated.. (More importantly, the services should be available) Are there any initiatives to make inaccuracy reports more transparent? This would help greatly in helping ARIN deal with this issue. -- "Catch the Magic of Linux..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Peddemors, President/CEO LinuxMagic Inc.
