Re: [sig-db] inetnum disappear from apnic whois db

[Sanjaya <sanjaya@apnic.net>]

Dear Kapil,

There are no restrictions in registering customer assignments in APNIC 
Whois Database. It is up to the member whether they want to publicly 
list their customer assignments or keep them private.

Some ISP prefer to handle the abuse reports themselves to ensure the 
routability of the full range of their delegated resources, and 
internally resolve the issue with the customer according to their 
Acceptable Use Policy. These ISP will probably keep their customer 
assignments private.

Other ISP prefer to fully delegate the responsibility to their 
customers, therefore make all customer assignments public.

An ISP may also choose to make some of their customers assignments 
public (for example, customers who would like to  handle abuse report 
themselves), while keeping the other customer assignments private.

I hope this addresses your concern. Thank you for your question and 
please don't hesitate to use this forum for any other feedback you may 
have regarding APNIC database policy.

Regards
Sanjaya
