Hi John,

I would argue that ARIN already verifies by inference. It may be
semantics, but without direct evidence of contact (copy of photo ID,
copy of a check, credit card numbers, SSN, phone check) a list of
names is just a list of names. ARIN infers actual use from the list.

I merely propose you exclude PII from the data set from which you draw
inference.

Really, I don't even want that much. I want you to exclude PII *until*
the applicant balks at a request for non-PII data. An otherwise
cooperative applicant, like Jack, should never need to turn over
sub-/29 PII to complete the process. Folks like David, who is
sensitive about different information instead, ought to be able to
complete the process using the PII.

One standard. Multiple options. Applicant empowered to select.

Give me a way to write such an eminently sensible policy which isn't
capriciously excluded from the policy process. I really don't
appreciate being forced into a mold that makes the proposal less
reasonable.

Regards.
Bill
