Chris says it's an easy change but points out that the primary reason for requesting people to log in at least once a year is to verify that we have current contact data for them. An automated cron login to the API doesn't do that. Since ICANN requires yearly confirmation of contact data, I feel that we are not placing an undue burden on users of our network to verify their email address at least once a year.
As far as I can tell from the ICANN policies is that ARDC needs to maintain contact info once per year. There is no "flow down" requirement that our users need to give this to us as ARDC is not a Regional Internet Registry (RIR).
That said, I'm in favor of us having a registry of people using subnets, but it's not a requirement from ICANN/IANA/ARIN.
