[ARIN-consult] [E] Re: Consultation on Orphaned Organization (Org) and Point of Contact (POC) Records

[Owen DeLong]

It seems to me that the following statements are true:

1.	If an POC record is has not been linked from any ORG or RESOURCE type records for more than
	12 months, then said POC record can be considered orphaned.

2.	It would be reasonable to make an effort to contact said POC, giving said POC 60 days notice that
	their record is orphaned and pending deletion.

3.	After 60 days elapses if ARIN does not receive some form of response indicating that there is a
	reason to maintain said orphaned POC, it should be safe to remove it, relegating it to who’s
	for all eternity.

I encourage ARIN to enact this or a similar process for removing orphaned POC records.

Thanks,

Owen
