[ppml] Privacy of Reassignment Information

[Azinger, Marla]

I'm not sure if I interpreted Davids question correctly.  However, RWHOIS does not permit Privacy that isnt allowed on ARIN WHOIS.  The information on RWHOIS should be identical to what would be on ARIN WHOIS.

I might have missed something in the policy and this note... but,
doesn't the ability to use rwhois and limit access to 'arin' solve
this privacy issue as well? With this capability perhaps the need to
construct policy around privacy of information isn't necessary?
