So, out of about 6400 members, we get over 1200 billing address bounces per annum? Close to 20% have the single most basic piece of information* wrong? Wow! ☹
Regards Mike * “the single most basic piece of information” from a service provider’s point of view has to be ‘who do I send the bill to?’ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Gosling Sent: Thursday, 30 June 2016 11:29 a.m. To: Aftab Siddiqui; Policy Mailing List Subject: Re: [sig-policy] APNIC Whois Database Accuracy Hello Aftab, all The Services and Finance teams have helped us out with the following data as you requested. I’ll reply in-line.

Can you please share the following stats. - how many request APNIC received in last 12 months to correct the whois record? In the last 12 months we have received 1,329 reports of invalid Whois contacts. - how many active myapnic accounts we have as compare to total numbers of active APNIC members. Assuming 1 myapnic account = 1 member? We have a total of 6401 active Member and Non-Member accounts. Of them 5839 have MyAPNIC access. This would not include NIR accounts. - how many members have not created IRT object yet? At APNIC 38 we reported that 87% of accounts had registered an IRT contact object. Following that we did some work as part of the Whois Data Quality Improvement project and can now report that 96% of accounts now have IRT objects. This leaves about 260 without and we will look into why that is. These numbers are based on MyAPNIC activity. Some may have registered via email – that would be a small number, if any. - how many emails bounce back from billing contacts (just an average per month)? Finance Department reports that on average we get around 100 to 110 bounces each month from billing contacts. I hope this data helps. Please feel comfortable to ask for any other information you need. We will do our best to provide what you need.

Besides i would like to add one point with Gaurab's idea ; Can we send verification message through mail to account holder's corporate and technical contact person by quarterly/half a year/yearly basis? if one of the contact person is not verify this information then account accessibility will be disable . Other wise it's really hard to make more reliable and accurate whois database that we are thinking . +0.5 I've been proposing this for years now (earlier in Network abuse BoF) and recently did it in policy-sig and there was very mixed response. ARIN has this policy but as per Leslie Noble (ARIN) it is not very successful in their region but she also mentioned that they are planning to make few changes in the process (need to reach out to her again for the update).
