[arin-ppml] Petition Underway - Policy Proposal 95: Customer Confidentiality - Time Sensitive

[John Curran]

ARIN Community - 

I am reposting this Petition Announcement under a distinct subject 
line as otherwise not all mailing list participants may recognize 
that this process is underway.  This is neither a statement for or 
against the petition, and all statements of support posted under 
the original thread or this one will be counted in the total.
