[arin-discuss] Privacy of Reassignment Information

[Gary Wall]

Hi Tom,

I agree that there is a duty to be transparent. But open records are
abused by spammers and enforcement against them is like trying to get
the toothpaste back in the tube.  Maybe having a system that requires a
non-machine readable challenge-response like Godaddy or such might be
the solution for all parties that need to query this information. There
might be a backdoor for qualified parties on a need-to-know basis.

Best Regards,

Gary

If the information can be legitimately obscured, then it is only a  
matter of time before the anonymity will be abused by unscrupulous  
people.

I think it would be prudent to take a letter from other "governance"  
discussions, and strongly resist the temptation to combat "higher  
level" abuses by imposing the enforcement burden on "lower level"  
operations/administrative structures. ARIN and the RIRs are vested  
with responsibility for maintaining records for number resources held  
in public trust. If the records are abused, the specific abuses and  
abusers should be targeted -- even if this is more difficult --  
rather than taking the easy route of attacking the underlying systems.
