[Azinger, Marla]

Below is a short discussion on 2003-3 that was not posted to ppml by accident on my part.  I now post this for involvment by anyone else interested:

No.  Now you've allowed them to eliminate everything except the ZIP  
code.

First, let me say that I do not think that there is any flaw in the  
current
policy or ARIN's interpretation thereof, except that I would rather  
preserve
the Name as a visible object.

However, if we are going to further reduce the usefulness of whois, I  
would
rather constrain that reduction to the smallest amount possible.

An acceptable rewording might be:

Section <insert number here> of the NRPM is modified to allow  
residential
customer postal codes in Canada to be abbreviated to the first three
characters of the Postal Code.  Further, it is clarified that in the
US, the 5 digit ZIP code is acceptable for all entries.

That is a policy I would not oppose.
