Hello:
I believe Mr. Mason attempted to address the privacy issue before in this
regards. It may prove beneficial Ben if you revisited the argument.
Many governmental freedom of information and protection of privacy offices
have addressed web related privacy. ICANN archives are by default
governmental and there should be some restraint on publication of personal
information.
Cheers
Joe Baptista
