[arin-ppml] Draft Policy 2008-7: Identify Invalid WHOIS POC’s

[Owen DeLong]

So, that's an entertainingly large number, but, let's look at the  
reality.

Most organizations don't have more than 4 POCs with an average
more in the neighborhood of 2.

Even if we figure 4 POCs per organization, that's 0.33 man hours
per organization or an annual cost (by your estimation) more
in the range of $16.67/year per organization (or less).

For what it's worth, when I get these for my domain names, the
deep technical work required on my part is more like 90 seconds,
but, I'll let your 5 minute estimate stand for now.

In any case, given the data now at hand, do you support or oppose
the policy?
