[arin-ppml] Policy Manual : Customer Privacy

[Owen DeLong]

I think this is not an area for policy.  Policy allows the ISP to  
choose their level
of protection for their customers as they see fit for their business.

Customers have the freedom to choose their ISP such that ISPs which do
not provide adequate protection probably lose customers.

ARIN allows for adequate protections if the ISP chooses to use them.   
It is not
ARIN's job to be the ISP behavior police.  At least not in this area.
