Hi everyone,
Greetings,
All the comments exchanged in the list made me thinking a lot about the
wording of this proposal. I have noticed that the lively discussion
around the policy is bringing a lot of attention on the dichotomy
between the individual (which I agree completely, should be protected
in their fundamental rights, with provisions such as the GDPR and
others), and the company/corporation. It seems to me so far that many of
us would indeed support the idea of having the legal address published
of companies, but having concerns about personal data. The aim of this
proposal is indeed to focus on companies, not individuals, and even the
smallest company has to be registered as such (if not for other reasons,
for tax reasons). Individuals will be anyways protected by a
hierarchically higher set of rules: the fundamental rights, such as
those championed by GDPR for example.
Well, LIR addresses are already published on the RIPE NCC's website.
LIR's customers addresses may not be part of whois.ripe.net... well...
i know some LIRs tend to protect their customers identity, to prevent
competitors to approach them with better contractual conditions (this is
not the case of the LIR i work for, which is a NREN)
At this point I am asking whether you support a proposal, the clarifies
that only the legal address of companies will be published, and that
states clearly that individuals information will be protected? After
all, the reasoning here is that if a resource holder is registered with
a national company registry, they have a legal address which can be
published. This legal address is usually publicly available anyhow and
can be then validated by the RIPE NCC.
I see added value in "validation by the RIPE NCC", despite the natural
cost this will bring...
However, i wonder what should be the procedure if RIPE NCC finds that
company X registers a new company Y in a different country/economy
resorting to a "virtual office" address.
Looking forward to hear the feedback to this idea for an amendment to the
proposal.
Good luck!
Best Regards,
Carlos
