Dear SIG members A new version of the proposal "prop-115: Registration of detailed assignment information in whois DB" has been sent to the Policy SIG for review.
Information about earlier versions is available from: <http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-115> http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-115 You are encouraged to express your views on the proposal: - Do you support or oppose the proposal? - Is there anything in the proposal that is not clear? - What changes could be made to this proposal to make it more effective? Please find the text of the proposal below. Kind Regards, Masato Hi Masato, Due to advantages in processing and logging, I believe more providers will deploy CGN and statically route specific port ranges to particular customers So this policy will have some advantages. First, it helps law enforcement as well as those who wish to report network abuse, by identifying customers who share an ip address. Second, it allows for more targeted spam filtering. Third, it returns to the original Internet tenet of a central database capable of being queried for contact information of any ip address. We know the Internet is not flat. This proposal would address the deepening topography by applying the principles of Whois at a more granular level. I don’t support making this mandatory, but don’t oppose adding this information for those who want to use this. It’s beyond the scope, but it would be nice if rDNS/DNS supported this concept, too. For clarity sake I might make it obvious that usage of this new ability would be optional. Thanks for the proposal, I support it. Regards, Mike Burns
