(https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/prop-162/)prop-166:

(https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/prop-166/)prop-167: Published
Statistics on Directory Service Usage
(https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/proposals/prop-167)
prop-167 contained the following notes from the EC (full text available in the
EC Minutes
(https://www.apnic.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/APNIC-EC-Meeting-Minutes-December-2025-Complete-Public.pdf):
"..with respect to publishing real-time or near-real-time statistics about its
directory services usage as set out in the proposal text. Noting that the text
of Prop-167-v002 requests APNIC "Include a feature within the MyAPNIC portal
allowing resource holders to view how many times their allocated resources
(such as IP addresses or ASNs) have been queried in WHOIS and RDAP, broken down
by query type and source ASN if possible...”, the Executive Council notes that
the cost, resourcing, and potential privacy concerns outweigh the immediate
benefit of such functionality and as such does not consider it feasible at this
time. "
Next steps
----------
The Secretariat will begin the implementation process and inform the community
as soon as it is completed.
