Hi all,

Just a reminder from the 8 November 2010 the APNIC Whois Database will be updated to contain new 'irt' objects.

What does this mean?

* That when there are incidents of network abuse network operators will be able to report these activities to the contact registered within the irt (Incidence Response Team) object.

* The 'irt' object will become mandatory, and referenced within inetnum, inet6num and aut-num objects

For more information please refer to:

Kind regards, Elly ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could someone at Connect update the whois data for their IP space?

It still list Alfred as contact, and Alfred has not been there for 2 years now...

While I stumbled on this one while reporting SPAM (yes it seems spam is on the rise in Fiji, coming now from Fiji based Businesses), I would suggest other ISPs to check their whois data at APNIC and add an abuse field.
