Talk:APNIC

NPOV
Yes, lots of spam comes out of Asia. However, this article definitely takes an opinionated slant and does not cite sources to back up its statements, some of which are dubious (for example: ARIN, RIPE and LACNIC all have similar FAQ items about spam, which state that the they have no power to investigate or punish spammers and that the proper course of action is to contact the ISP whose user is spamming or to involve local law enforcement if applicable; hence an 'abuse' address at the RIR is demonstrably a useless technique for fighting spam. AfriNIC's spam info page is currently throwing a 404 so I can't check, but I'd be surprised to find any substantially different info there).

Any objections to seeing this cleaned up a bit? Ubernostrum 09:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

As you say, the entire middle two paragraphs are just a non-NPOV rant and should be removed or given references. 202.55.146.72 03:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The spam claim (and e-mail) is probably non-true:

At least 43.8% of the spam comes from non-APNIC region countries, and 20% or so from unspecified countries in this article. I'm going to remove this section.

APNIC is a pest that is continually scanning my IP ports
I have an older system, and it is getting slower and harder to use with Windows "Live" despite a firewall and adaware. I notice a lot of scanning of my ports by APNIC. I set up a repeating ping, and they attack my ports. I have no idea what they can do, but I just want to be left in peace. I suspect Earthlink uses them. I get phone calls constantly from Earthlink which I have never signed with, but which bought an IP service I used to use. They want to bill me, apparently, even though I left the service they bought, before my paid up anniversary date. What can you do to stop these bums?


 * What?! APNIC is scanning your IP Ports? Are you Sure? Email me at apnic AT bauani DOT org with your details report. I think you are missing something to report and identifying the attack as 'APNIC'. APNIC has a lot of job to do righter then scan your ports. Thanks Bauani (talk) 09:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * He/She's probably being scanned by an IP from the Asia Pacific region, that APNIC has allocated to an ISP in the region, who has allocated it to a subscriber. Then when doing a whois search on the IP with a search powered by ARIN it comes up that the IP belongs to APNIC.  Lots of search engines operate this way, expecting you to then go and use a search engine powered by the correct regional internet registry. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_IP_database for a list.  or just do the search for this offending IP on the page http://wq.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl and remember that this will be the ISP of the offender. Then remember that most port scan attacks on people are done by viruses that are looking to spread from an already infected source. 203.202.133.199 (talk) 23:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:APNIC logo.jpg
Image:APNIC logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure
The page contains a number of factuals errors. For example, the APNIC office moved several months ago. I'm a long time editor in good standing and an employee of APNIC. I will be making edits in conformance with Conflict of interest. Anything that is not a straight objective factual correction will be posted here first and tagged with Request edit to invite review.

I propose adding the following to the article. Once this is added duplicate material from elsewhere in the article may be removed.

Structure
Elections are held at each APNIC Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is conducted during the APNIC Member Meeting (AMM) in February. Voting takes place both on site at these meetings and prior to the meeting via online voting.

APNIC Executive Council
Each APNIC Executive Council (EC) member serves as an individual, not as a representative of any other party or Member. Therefore, they must act at all times in the best interests of APNIC. The APNIC EC meets at about 12 regularly scheduled meetings per year.

APNIC Secretariat
The APNIC Secretariat operates to serve its Members and the Asia Pacific Internet community stakeholders.

Its activities are designed to help the APNIC community achieve APNIC's objectives. The Secretariat (APNIC's staff) carries out the day-to-day work. The Secretariat is structured in five divisions: Services, Technical, Business, Communications, and Learning & Development. These divisions encompass all APNIC activities, including that of acting as a central source of information for Members.

APNIC's open policy development process also invites stakeholders interested in Internet number resources from around the world (but mostly the Asia Pacific) to participate. These include representatives from governments, regulators, educators, media, the technical community, civil society, and other not-for-profit organizations.
