We can debate the specifics of implementing such a practice, but I'm interested in whether you (dis)agree fundamentally with that approach to data management.


Updating and verifying Whois data is the best practice. Deleting
"questionable" data is a step backwards. Defaulting to not having data
is a worst-case scenario. This proposal (specifically section 13.1) is
absolutely not going to advance Whois data accuracy and will likely
cause serious damage to it.

Going a step further, are there really legacy address holders out
there who are upset about receiving free services from ARIN? Barring
that, I do not understand the problem that section 13.1 is trying to
solve. If there are, it would be nice to hear from them here. And,
even if there are, the community is best served by accurate Whois data
so their argument against participating would have to be compelling
indeed to make this idea palatable at all.

Once you eliminate 13.1, this proposal reads like an attempt to update
the transfer policy. If that is indeed a goal of this proposal; I
suggest further review of the current specified transfer policy
(https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#eight3), and a simplification
of the current proposal language.

Cheers,
