The proposal (which comes from APNIC members, not from APNIC staff) concerns non-portable addresses assigned to end-users. I don't know about anybody else, but I've never had any luck getting a response from people in that category anyway; it's invariably the upstream ISPs who respond (if anybody does), and there is no suggestion that their contact details will be able to be hidden.
So what difference will it make?
Effectively none. APNIC has always served out unverified and obvious garbage from their whois servers. What I find offensive is that they are now codifying this lack of cooperation, and tacit complicity with spammers and other anonymous miscreants as official policy. matto
