As long as ARIN is willing to accept a DBA/ Legal Trust in WHOIS for the name of the entity reassigned the block and a mailing address (e.g. .P.O box) for the address, then I don't see much issue there. That provides a degree of privacy for entities that have serious privacy concerns while preserving the ability to hold those entities accountable. If ARIN doesn't accept those (I don't know, I've never tried using either for a WHOIS) then that's a problem that should be addressed.

The way I interpret current policy says to me ARIN should accept such
substitutes, but it was pointed out to me that that's not how it's
practiced.
