This won't fully satisfy his request for security which is reasonable, but maybe it reduces his security issue and at the same time provides members with the ability to find out who really is assigned a block.

As somebody who has advocated for the rights of legacy registration
holders, would this not introduce a disparity between these holders
and those who have signed an RSA/LRSA and those who have not?
Membership to ARIN requires a signed RSA/LRSA, as well as potentially
a membership fee if you are not an allocation holder. How would you
also account for other groups that would have reason to access this
information, such as law enforcement?

Cheers,
Christoph

It makes our reliance on ARIN absolute and, without public scrutiny, the community is placed in a position where it will have to demand ARIN engage in much more expensive auditing practices to assure ISPs with private whois entries are not cheating.
