Last time I brought up this topic, I was informed that until the Board
gets the mandate to work on enforcement, very little will be done on
this. However, it wasn't clear on how that can be brought about.
Of course, we are supposed to 'report it to hostmaster', but after many
such reports, and seeing no effect, it makes it hard to bother with
reporting it..
We see daily bad SWIP entries, entries pointing to bad or non
functioning 'rwhois' servers, and without the 'stick', that is unlikely
to change.
We in our own way 'encourage' operators of IP Space to fix their
entries, but until some form of policing is in place, I do not expect it
to change much.
Maybe an independent movement to 'blackhole' IP space with bad SWIP
practices?? (not entirely kidding)

So, let me see if I understand this...
ARIN doesn't, can't, and most probably won't either enforce the existing
(IPv4) SWIP rules, nor, for that matter, any new SWIP rules that may be
drafted and/or promulgated with respect to IPv6. Is that about the size
of it?
Pretty much, unless someone comes up with a new method of enforcing SWIP
rules. Some of the discussions with law enforcement could eventually
result in such carrots or sticks, but no one has proposed any specifics yet.
If so, then color me perplexed. I'm not at all sure that I grasp the
reason(s) why people on this list are spending/investing time and energy
discussing and debating some new draft rule for IPv6 that also and
likewise
won't ever actually be enforced.
Am I missing something?
No, this proposal isn't drafting a new rule, but rather relaxing an
existing one that mostly isn't being observed or enforced, so that
people who follow the rules and those who don't are on a level playing
field.
