<br class="">
Yes.<br class="">
<br class="">
But how about a policy of ARIN just publishing the name & contact info of<br class="">
each natural person representative of each legal entity that is an ARIN<br class="">
member and who filed the membership application? You already have that<br class="">
information in your files, so there is no issue of "collecting" that<br class="">
because you already have it, agreed?<br class="">

</div>
<div>Ah, no... there would be a very significant issue, as we did not collect the data for that </div>
<div>purpose and thus have no consent to publish it as you suggest. We may be able to go </div>
<div>out and individually obtain such consents (although I expect there may be just a few </div>
<div>organizations who decline, and that would likely defeat your goals in publication. ) </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Alternatively, it might be possible for us publish that information as you suggest if </div>
<div>the ARIN community developed a policy that required such publication which included</div>
<div>a very clear and specific need for ARIN to so do in order to fulfill its mission. (I’m not </div>
<div>sure that’s actually possible, as we have been fulfilling our mission successfully for </div>
<div>decades without publishing the data as you propose.)</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>In the end, we would probably need to make the requirement for publication of this</div>
<div>information explicit in the RSA. Note that doing so for all existing parties would require </div>
<div>both a Board recommendation for the change and then a member ratification vote – </div>
<div>as changes to everyone’s existing RSA, other than as needed for conformance to </div>
<div>prevailing law, have been put under member control as per Section 1 of the RSA. </div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>So, yes, just a few issues involved...</div>

<blockquote type="cite" class="">Absent such a policy, what you seek would represent a fairly significant<br class="">

<br class="">
Baloney! "Commonly accepted principles for personal data privacy and<br class="">
processing of personally identifiable information" ?? Where are you<br class="">
getting this from John? Europe? Just because THEY have chosen to<br class="">
shoot themselves in the foot with their newfound privacy fetish, that's<br class="">
no reason why we should.<br class="">

</div>
ARIN serves numerous jurisdictions with such personal data privacy principles now</div>
<div>in place, including Canada and many US states, and ARIN has a Personal Data </div>
<div>Privacy Policy which embeds similar concepts - <a href="https://www.arin.net/about/privacy/" class="">
