[Services-wg] CKN23-ARIN thoughts

[David R Huberman]

WG and staff,

I have re-reviewed the CKN23 document, and in light of our call, here are 
my final thoughts:

1) I agree with Matt that hijackers are more normally going to use Whois 
to verify what they already know: that a block is abandoned and ripe for 
their misuse.

2) If, as reported by staff, ARIN is receiving 5-10 calls a week on this, 
that doesn't seem like a "problem" to me. Rather, it seems like CKN23-ARIN 
is working as intended.  It's causing registrants to contact ARIN and, 
unwillingly or not, learn how to update their registration information. I 
see this as highly valuable to the community -- more up-to-date contact 
information is good.  If the registrant who contacts ARIN to complain does 
not ultimately update their information, then I can only assume it either 
wasn't important enough of a problem to them to actually do anything about 
it, or perhaps they really shouldnt be listed :)

3) Formally, I support Option #1, the do nothing option.  But I can 
support Option #3, reinstating old resource tech POCs back to the 
resource, but locking to prevent them from making rDNS changes without 
validation.

Thank you,
David
