William,
ARIN understands exactly how important the validity and security of
the whois data is... This understanding is based on the policies that
the community chooses to adopt (or not).
The Third Joint meeting of Nanog and ARIN will take place October 17th
through the 22nd in Reston Virginia (thanks to local host TimeWarner!)
More information is hidden on the home page of http://www.nanog.org/.
I understand that Reston is not exactly a tropical vacation spot, but I
ask that folks who feel strongly about the policies affecting whois data
stay another day or so and participate in the public policy process. In
this manner, we're assured of getting balanced policies that reflect the
wishes of the entire community.
Thanks!
