[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-148 LRSA resources must not betransferred to LRSA

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

In my opinion I see little value in publishing redacted RSAs

The most common reason cited for modifying RSA is court order or
government requirement.

Many governments have open records laws as do most universities and
these documents should be publicly available in enough cases to
satisfy the community's curiosity as to what is most commonly modified.
ARIN can easily select representative samples of modified RSA's that
they know are signed by public organizations under legal requirement
to disclose anyway, and ask the organization for permission to publish,
most of those requests would be granted automatically, enough so that
there would be a good selection for example purposes.

Of much more value, and something for John to put on his list of
things to place into the "merged RSA" would be language in the
RSA that REQUIRES that if the RSA is modified that ARIN has the
right to publish the organization name and modification they
required, unless the government is under a law that disallows
this, or a court orders it under NDA.

I understand the concern about a group like a state wanting to
reduce paper recording requirements, but frankly that is NOT
ARIN's problem, and if the state doesn't like it they need to
petition their legislature to quit mandating the practice.  In
any case, giving ARIN the right to publish does not mean it will
do it.

I also feel that any NDA that ARIN signs for RSA modification
must also have a time limit in it.  Whether it be 10, 20, 30 or
whatever number of years, it should eventually expire.
