What are we going to do to improve APNIC data?
2016#apricot2016
APNIC can not do this alone
2016#apricot2016
Involve APNIC Members in 2016 • We need help from the Members to provide updated information
timely • Face-to-face meeting with APNIC Members at events such as
APNIC conferences, regional meetings, Member gathering, NOG forums…etc – Review Members’ corporate, technical and billing contacts and whois
records of APNIC delegation
• Get feedback on whois data quality improvement – How can it be done differently in the future? – What else can be done ?
