</div>
<div class=""> Q: Is there a way to keep an orphaned POC from being deleted?<br class="">
<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>A: Yes. One of the criteria we are applying is not to remove any locked records. If you wish to prevent a record from being deleted, you may request that it be locked.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Q: Can deleted records be restored?<br class="">
<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>A: Not at this time. We have examined the work required to restore deleted records and determined that it would require significant effort to change the system to allow it. Keeping deleted records
permanently deleted also serves as a security measure. When old records are restored, there’s a chance some of that old history could provide an attack vector. Creating a new record allows us to ensure that we are able to obtain the most current/accurate information.
Note that there is likely no significant difference in the work required to establish a new set of records rather than restore old ones. Our current practice requires annual re-verification/vetting of Org records, so even if the record had been preserved
rather than deleted, there's minimal difference in terms of what would be required from organizations. <br class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Q: How many orphaned records are from SWIP and how many are from direct registrations?<br class="">
<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>A: 1% of the orphaned records have ever been associated with a direct registration. 99% of the orphaned records have been associated with at least one object (network/ASN) at some point. Based on
this data, it’s safe to conclude +/- 98% of the orphaned records were created solely for SWIP.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Q: Will the deleted data disappear forever?<br class="">
<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>A: No. It will remain archived and will still be available to fulfill WhoWas reports, subpoena requests, etc, although it will not appear in Whois and will not be available for anything other than
historical research. Note that at present WhoWas accepts a single IP address or AS number - you cannot query by Org ID or POC handle.</div>
