Hi Matthew,

The picture in my head was of an ARIN-written report running to no
more than a few pages describing the key accusations and evidence
supporting or refuting them. Specific but abridged. Where fault was
not found (or was corrected to ARIN's satisfaction) the registrant
would have the opportunity to redact anything in the report they
considered a trade secret. Of course, the choice of redaction would
also inform the policy debate but then the information that an
organization can keep private while justifying IP addresses is also a
matter for a healthy public policy debate.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
