in stabbing around today on the ARIN online website I noticed this:
" ARIN provides access to a list of number resources in the database which have no valid POC data. A POC handle is marked invalid by ARIN staff when the POC has not been modified in more than one year and the POC fails to respond to ARIN's annual request to validate their POC information. In order to access this report, NRPM Policy 3.6.1 requires that you meet the criteria specified in ARIN’s Bulk Whois policy, including signing an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Complete information on Bulk Whois, including the AUP and data request form can be found here. "
one wonders if this sort of thing could be useful to folks maintaining lists of numbers that are used to affect other folks business plans.
Chris - Very timely... I should advise the community that a revised ARIN Bulk WHOIS policy will be sent for community consultation shortly, and folks should take a chance to comment on the valid uses of access to this data. More information on how ARIN processes incoming suggestions and consultations is available here: <https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/index.html> FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
