It doesn’t have to be hidden, but it does need to follow a formal process. Once 
it is assembled by staff, I see no reason they could not simultaneously 
communicate it to the other RIR and to PPML.

However, it does need to be a staff-to-staff request and response to satisfy 
the necessary formalities to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the 
communications and to avoid the potential for chaos that could ensue from 
permitting ad-hoc requests from random community members in RIR-A from making 
requests directly to staff at RIR-B.
