That dodges the question and you know it.

I’m not asking for PII or anything privileged here. It would be a relatively simple PERL script to take the list of subscribers and the list of POC email addresses associated with ASN-only customers and produce an answer.

Since you’ve only reported the Fee-paying ASN-only customers, I have to ask… How much does the number of (potentially) affected organizations grow if you include non-fee paying ASN-only organizations?
