There is to some extent some community self-auditing that is done.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If one needs to contact an operator and discovers that the contact<br>
information is incorrect, maybe that one could be flagged somehow for<br>
audit as opposed to doing a blanket audit of all of them. A top to<br>
bottom audit would take considerable human resources and most of them<br>
would probably be correct anyway. And most of those that are incorrect<br>
would be people who aren't having issues. A lot of time would be spent<br>
locating and correcting records that aren't causing a problem.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The ones that are related to some sort of issue AND are incorrect would<br>
tend to surface rather quickly and people would find them in the course<br>
of their normal operations.<br>

My take on this is not whether there is whois info or not. whois info is<br>
a must have. And accurate whois information is important to ARIN.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The system we create for collecting that info is in question as is<br>
...what info. is available to whom. Where a reallocation has an isp (for<br>
eg) as a contact because the isp agrees to be, my thinking is that ARIN<br>
needs to have all the info. on the reallocation and in many cases, the<br>
information available to the public is not as detailed as the info.<br>
which is available to ARIN.<br>
<br>
We also need to decide on the level of accuracy required for ARIN<br>
records and that ultimately determines what we put in place. I think<br>
I'm getting the view that the current whois database is a little way off<br>
the required standard?? And there would seem to be much use of the or<br>
maybe abuse of the current system as suggested by the 2006 audit.<br>
