Identify Invalid WHOIS POC's
Date: 4 May 2009
Policy Statement:
Section 3.6 Annual WHOIS POC Validation
3.6.1 Method of Annual Verification
During ARINs annual WHOIS POC validation, an e-mail will be sent to every POC in the WHOIS database. Each POC will have a maximum of 60 days to respond with an affirmative that their WHOIS contact information is correct and complete. Unresponsive POC email addresses shall be marked as such in the database. If ARIN staff deems a POC to be completely and permanently abandoned or otherwise illegitimate, the POC record shall be marked invalid. ARIN will maintain, and make readily available to the community, a current list of number resources with no valid POC; this data will be subject to the current bulk WHOIS policy.
Implementation time frame: Staff should begin implementation as soon as practical, but the AC understands that the initial pass through the database may take more than one year.
