Hi,

It's probably not "haven't updated" but instead "haven't created".

Ideally this would also cover cases where company X deliberately inserts 
an e-mail address from someone which has nothing to do with the numbering 
resource... at least the legitimate owner of such mailbox should be able 
to resort to someone (hopefully not a court!) to have that corrected in 
the registry.......

We had that with our postal address from an ARIN member some years ago. :/
