This proposal would be harmful in tracking hack attacks, ddos attacks and other forms of annoyance, spyware tracking and things that are beyond the capability for any agency to handle because of largese Technical fiefdoms were one of the worries of the 90's now we are here and that is becoming the direction, patenting rfc's and the like are harming the very fabric of the internet and detering the ability to keep it running.....I am very disappointed -Henry --- "william(at)elan.net" <william@elan.net> wrote:

This is an important announcement on the implementation of APNIC approved proposal prop-007-v001 regarding privacy of customer assignment records. The proposal document, presentation, minutes, and discussion are available at:

Does anyone else find this as offensive as I do?
Yes.
And worst of all similar proposal is under discussion at ARIN, see http://www.arin.net/policy/2004_6.html So if you don't want the same unaccountability problem for ARIN, join ppml mail list and let argue against it.
My own view is that this will make it a lot easier for spammers to get away with their works and easier for them to move from one isp to another.
At the same time reassignment information is used by me and some others for geographical mapping of ip space and this will make harm this research activity as well. So if you're involved in something similar you may want to speak up about it as well.
