As far as listing additional contact information in the WHOIS database. I encourage providers to exchange contact information for the person(s) who is knowledgeable about the process and emergency shutdown procedures. However, I am beginning to think the WHOIS database operated by NSI no longer best serves the network operation community. I see little purpose in adding additional fields to a database which is so full of useless information already. Listing good contact information just results in those contacts becoming overwhelmed by spammers, vigilantes and UUNET telemarketing. The occasional appropriate message is likely to be lost, or not acted upon because of contact fatigue.
So, what do you suggest as an alternative? -- Steve Sobol sjsobol () nacs net (AKA support () nacs net and abuse () nacs net) "The world is headed for mutiny/When all we want is unity" --Creed, "One"
