It is! ;-)

I have done a policy proposal for APNIC which was discussed in the last
meeting, but didn't find consensus. See more about this here:
http://www.apnic.net/policy/proposals/prop-084

I think we should change that a bit and say: "RIPE is responsible to
keep up accuracy for the data held in the whois database!" The means
that RIPE has to find ways to do so.

The above mentioned proposal by the way is in a similar way in process
at ARIN.

If this working group thinks the policy proposal would be nice for RIPE,
let me know and I will make the needed changes.

Thanks,

Tobias
