Maintenance of historical resources
Step 1 |
The resource holder contacts APNIC If the resource holder wishes to update or claim historical resources, please contact APNIC member services by emailing admin@apnic.net. APNIC members should include their member account name in the subject line eg: [myaccount-in]. |
Step 2 | APNIC verifies the organization is the legitimate holder of the resources The resource holder may be asked to complete declaration forms. The original copies should be mailed to APNIC to process your application. If the resource holder does not have an existing APNIC account, you may be asked to become an APNIC member to maintain the resources. |
Step 3 |
APNIC updates the historical resource registration in the APNIC Whois Database The resource holder's own maintainer may then be added to the mnt-lower attribute of inetnum objects to allow the holder to create sub-allocation assignment objects within the address range. The resource holders own maintainer can also be added to the mnt-route attribute of inetnum or aut-num objects to allow the creation of route objects associated with the resources. Note: The maintainer will be removed from the mnt-lower field if the organization ceases to pay the fees associated with their APNIC account. In addition, historical resource holders with a current APNIC account have access to MyAPNIC which allows organizations to manage their resources and account information via a secure website. |
