Why would the physical address of the administrators of a women's shelter 
possibly need to be protected?  Where would the women go that need help?  
Similarly, you can't hide the phone number of a women's shelter or the
women would have no place to call.  You cannot provide public services
without providing public information.

Regardless, the entity that manages their network needs to be able to be 
contacted.
