APNIC Member Meeting Seoul, Korea, 3 March 2000APNIC Open Address policy MeetingDiscussion Paper: Handling of Personal Information on the APNIC DatabaseMAEMURA Akinori, IP working group, JPNICCircumstances:Since the dedicated line service got cheaper than it used to be, personal sites connected to the Internet by dedicated lines are increasing these days. It is regulated that all the IP address assignments are registered onto APNIC database with the postal addresses and the phone numbers of their points-of-contact(POCs). Consequently it leads out the private information of the administrators of the personal sites to the public. Therefore it might be the problem of the abuse of private information, say the Issues of Private Information. Proposal:One of the measure to solve this problem is to register their ISP's POCs as POCs of the sites. This measure needs ISPs' recognitions and corporation. Anyway I'd like to discuss this issue at the policy SIG to provide some principles on the protection of private information to APNIC. |
