I
can and will stop posting here, and go off an blog about this stuff
instead,
if the consensus is that I'm utterly off-topic or utterly
uninteresting
and useless. But a few folks have told me they find
this
stuff interesting, and it has operational significance, I think.
So
for now, at least, I'd like to continue to share here.
As
regards to reporting to RIRs or upstreams, what makes you think that
either
of those would care one wit? The RIRs are not the Internet
Police,
or so I am told.
Good morning Ron –
The RIRs are not the Internet Police, but we do care very much about the integrity of the Internet number registry system.
Please report to ARIN any instances of number resource records in the ARIN registry whose organization you believe to be incorrect – while such records are updated only based on appropriate documentation, that doesn’t preclude the use of fraudulent
documentation that goes undetected.
Thanks!
